diffServAlgDropOctets
Module: DIFF-SERV-MIB
OID (symbolic): DIFF-SERV-MIB::diffServAlgDropOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.12345.2.8.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of octets that have been dropped by this drop process. On high speed devices, this object implements the least significant 32 bits of diffServAlgDropHCOctets.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re- initialization of the management system and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime appropriate to this interface.
What is diffServAlgDropOctets?
This counter measures the total bytes (octets) discarded by this QoS drop policy due to congestion or traffic shaping rules. It accumulates over time and helps measure how much traffic was rate-limited or discarded. A carrier analyzing traffic engineering on a congested link would compare this counter to total bytes transmitted to calculate the drop rate percentage.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.12345.2.8.1.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DIFF-SERV-MIB::diffServAlgDropOctets
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.12345.2.8.1.8.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DIFF-SERV-MIB::diffServAlgDropOctets.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> diffServAlgDropOctets.1
