dot3HCOutPauseFrames
Module: EtherLike-MIB
OID (symbolic): EtherLike-MIB::dot3HCOutPauseFrames
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description: A count of MAC Control frames transmitted 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 dot3OutPauseFrames. 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 dot3HCOutPauseFrames?
This 64-bit counter tracks MAC Control frames transmitted by this interface carrying the PAUSE opcode, the high-capacity equivalent of dot3OutPauseFrames for 10 Gb/s or faster links. Admins watch it to see how often this switch port itself is asking its link partner to pause, which indicates the switch's own buffers on that interface are under pressure. For example, a rising count on a switch uplink facing a slower downstream device suggests this port is regularly hitting buffer limits and throttling the sender via PAUSE frames.
