ipSystemStatsHCInMcastOctets

Module: IP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IP-MIB::ipSystemStatsHCInMcastOctets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.31.1.1.37

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of octets received in IP multicast datagrams. This object counts the same octets as ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets, but allows for larger values.

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 ipSystemStatsDiscontinuityTime.

What is ipSystemStatsHCInMcastOctets?

This 64-bit counter records the total number of bytes received in IP multicast datagrams on the system, providing a high-capacity version of the standard multicast octet counter that handles values larger than 32 bits. Network administrators use this metric to track multicast traffic volume across the entire network stack. It helps diagnose multicast streaming applications and group communication protocols that depend on efficient multicast delivery.
