What is inPkts?

inPkts is the aggregate count of incoming packets across all Virtual Services on the load balancer. An admin tracks this device-wide counter to gauge overall inbound traffic load on the device. For example, comparing daily deltas of inPkts helps an admin spot overall traffic growth trends across the whole load-balanced environment.
