Module: IP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipForwDatagrams

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of input datagrams for which this entity was not their final IPv4 destination, as a result of which an attempt was made to find a route to forward them to that final destination. In entities which do not act as IPv4 routers, this counter will include only those packets which

were Source-Routed via this entity, and the Source-Route option processing was successful.

This object has been deprecated, as a new IP version-neutral table has been added. It is loosely replaced by ipSystemStatsInForwDatagrams.
