Module: COPPER-MOUNTAIN-NETWORKS-DSL-MIB

OID (symbolic): COPPER-MOUNTAIN-NETWORKS-DSL-MIB::cmFrCircuitFramesDroppedExcess

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1996.10.9.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: Number of frames which were dropped on this circuit because the hold queue was full.

What is cmFrCircuitFramesDroppedExcess?

A read-only counter of frames dropped on this circuit because its hold queue was full. This distinguishes congestion-related packet loss from the link/PVC-unavailability drops tracked elsewhere, telling an admin the circuit is actually up but oversubscribed relative to its committed rate. If cmFrCircuitFramesDroppedExcess climbs steadily during peak hours while the circuit stays operationally enabled, the admin would treat it as a bandwidth or CIR sizing issue rather than a link fault.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1996.10.9.2.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> COPPER-MOUNTAIN-NETWORKS-DSL-MIB::cmFrCircuitFramesDroppedExcess

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1996.10.9.2.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> COPPER-MOUNTAIN-NETWORKS-DSL-MIB::cmFrCircuitFramesDroppedExcess.1
