cnt2IfOutDiscards
Module: CNT21-MIB
OID (symbolic): CNT21-MIB::cnt2IfOutDiscards
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.1.2.2.1.20
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
What is cnt2IfOutDiscards?
This Counter32 counts outbound packets that were deliberately discarded even though no errors were detected, often to free up buffer space. An administrator treats rising outbound discards as evidence of transmit-side congestion, where the interface can't drain traffic as fast as it's arriving. For example, cnt2IfOutDiscards growing during a large scheduled data transfer suggests this port can't keep up with the transmit load it's being handed.
