What is hardwarioload?

This value reports the device's current I/O load in packets per second. Admins use it to track how much packet-forwarding traffic is passing through the device at a given moment, useful for spotting traffic spikes or verifying throughput against expected levels. For example, a sudden jump in this value from 500 to 50,000 packets per second could indicate a traffic flood or the start of a denial-of-service condition.
