This object reports the type of interval over which performance-monitoring statistics are being collected for this access-port QoS shaper. It tells the admin how to interpret the accompanying shaper counters, as either a short 5-minute snapshot or a full day's accumulation, when judging whether an access port's shaping is under strain. For example, an admin comparing shaping behavior on an access port during a reported outage would first confirm cmAccPortQosShaperStatsIntervalType to know whether they're looking at a 5-minute or 1-day summary.
