dot3OamFramesLostDueToOam

Module: EFM-COMMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): EFM-COMMON-MIB::dot3OamFramesLostDueToOam

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.9908.1.4.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: A count of the number of frames that were dropped by the OAM multiplexer. Since the OAM mulitplexer has multiple inputs and a single output, there may be cases where frames are dropped due to transmit resource contention. This counter is incremented whenever a frame is dropped by the OAM layer. When this counter is incremented, no other counters in this MIB are incremented.

Discontinuities of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of the ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

What is dot3OamFramesLostDueToOam?

A count of frames dropped by the OAM sublayer's internal multiplexer due to transmit contention between multiple OAM message sources; when this increments, no other OAM PDU counter is incremented for that frame, so a nonzero value points to congestion inside the OAM layer itself.
