Module: IPV6-MIB

OID (symbolic): IPV6-MIB::ipv6IfStatsOutDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.6.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of output IPv6 datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in ipv6IfStatsOutForwDatagrams if any such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion.

This object is obsoleted by IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutDiscards.

What is ipv6IfStatsOutDiscards?

Counted outbound IPv6 datagrams with no transmission problem that were still discarded, typically for lack of buffer space (this can overlap with forwarded-datagram counts). Obsolete, replaced by IP-MIB::ipIfStatsOutDiscards.

Examples
