netPacketsOutboundDiscarded
Module: INFORMANT-STD
OID (symbolic): INFORMANT-STD::netPacketsOutboundDiscarded
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.3.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge32
Access: read-only
Description: Packets Outbound Discarded is the number of outbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
What is netPacketsOutboundDiscarded?
This Gauge32 reports the count of outbound packets that were deliberately discarded (not due to errors), for example to free up buffer space, so a nonzero and growing count can indicate the interface is under buffer pressure.
