ieee8021PfcRequests
Module: IEEE8021-PFC-MIB
OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-PFC-MIB::ieee8021PfcRequests
OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.21.1.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: A count of the invoked PFC M_CONTROL.request primitives.
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 ieee8021PfcRequests?
This counter tracks how many times this interface has locally invoked the PFC control-request primitive, meaning how many times it has asked its link partner to pause a specific priority's traffic due to congestion. An admin monitors this counter to see how often this port is triggering flow control, since a rapidly climbing count indicates the port's egress queue for some priority class is chronically congested. For example, a rapidly increasing ieee8021PfcRequests counter on a storage-traffic priority tells the admin that priority's traffic is regularly overwhelming the port and pausing its upstream sender.
