ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams

Module: IP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.3.1.23

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of datagrams for which this entity was not their final IP destination and for which it was successful in finding a path to their 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 outgoing interface is incremented for a successfully forwarded 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 ipIfStatsOutForwDatagrams?

This counter tracks the number of IP datagrams successfully forwarded by this interface toward their final destination (when the device is not the final recipient). For non-routers, this includes only source-routed datagrams that were successfully processed. Network operators use this to measure routing activity and verify that forwarding is occurring as expected.

Examples
