dot3HCInPauseFrames
Module: EtherLike-MIB
OID (symbolic): EtherLike-MIB::dot3HCInPauseFrames
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description: A count of MAC Control frames received on this interface with an opcode indicating the PAUSE operation.
This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in half-duplex mode.
This counter is a 64 bit version of dot3InPauseFrames. It should be used on interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s or faster.
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.
What is dot3HCInPauseFrames?
This 64-bit counter tracks MAC Control frames received on this interface carrying the PAUSE opcode, serving as the high-capacity equivalent of dot3InPauseFrames for use on 10 Gb/s or faster links. Admins monitor it to see how often the local link partner is asking this interface to pause transmission, which can reveal a downstream device that's frequently congested. For example, a steadily climbing count here on a 10G server uplink suggests the server's NIC is regularly signaling PAUSE, hinting the server can't keep up with inbound traffic.
