Module: CTFPS-MIB
OID (symbolic): CTFPS-MIB::fpsFreePktRam
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.2.11.2.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge
Access: read-only
Description: The number of packet buffers currently free in the system.
What is fpsFreePktRam?
This read-only Gauge shows the number of packet buffers currently unused in the FPS system. A falling value signals the forwarding engine is approaching buffer exhaustion, which precedes packet drops. For example, an admin watching fpsFreePktRam trend toward zero during a traffic spike knows the FPS is close to running out of buffers before drops actually start.
