Module: IP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipIfStatsInForwDatagrams

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.12

Description: The number of input datagrams for which this entity was not their final IP destination and for which this entity attempted to find a route to forward them to that final destination. In entities that do not act as IP routers, this counter will include only those datagrams that were Source-Routed via this entity, and the Source-Route processing was successful.

When tracking interface statistics, the counter of the incoming interface is incremented for each datagram.

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 ipIfStatsDiscontinuityTime.

What is ipIfStatsInForwDatagrams?
