Module: DIFFSERV-MIB

OID (symbolic): DIFFSERV-MIB::diffServCountActPkts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.5.5.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of packets at the Action data path element.

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 diffServCountActPkts?

A running counter of packets seen at this count action element in the policy chain, the packet-count companion to diffServCountActOctets. Admins use it together with the octet counter to derive average packet size and validate that a policy branch is matching the expected volume of traffic; discontinuities can occur on reinit, tracked via ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
