diffServAlgRandomDropOctets
Module: DIFFSERV-MIB
OID (symbolic): DIFFSERV-MIB::diffServAlgRandomDropOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.9
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description: The number of octets that have been randomly dropped by this drop process. This counter applies, therefore, only to random droppers.
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 on the relevant interface.
What is diffServAlgRandomDropOctets?
A running counter of octets dropped by the random (as opposed to deterministic tail/head) drop process at this element; only meaningful for random droppers. Admins watch this counter to see how much traffic RED-style early drops are shedding, distinct from hard tail/head drops.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.9 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DIFFSERV-MIB::diffServAlgRandomDropOctets
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.6.2.1.9.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DIFFSERV-MIB::diffServAlgRandomDropOctets.1
