What is dlswDirNBCacheHits?

This counter increments each time a Data Link Switching (DLSW) NetBIOS name directory cache lookup successfully finds a matching cached entry. It is a read-only Counter32 value. An operator would use this metric along with cache miss counts to evaluate the efficiency of the DLSW naming cache, with higher hit rates indicating better performance and less network overhead.
