ibm3172ifInBlkDiscards

Module: IBM3172-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBM3172-MIB::ibm3172ifInBlkDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.1.5.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of inbound frames transmitted by the LAN adapter to the Blocker Task which were discarded by the 3172, even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a frame could be because of insufficient buffer space. This variable, when combined with ibm3172ifInLANDiscards, reflects the total number of inbound frames discarded by the 3172 when no error was detected.

What is ibm3172ifInBlkDiscards?

A running count of inbound frames the Blocker task discarded despite no detected errors, often from insufficient buffer space; combined with ibm3172ifInLANDiscards it gives the total inbound frames dropped without error. An admin watches this for internal buffering bottlenecks in the Blocker task.
