Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnsMIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnsMIB::mscRtgVnsTotalTxDiscPkts

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.40.3.16.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: PassportCounter64

Access: read-only

Description: This attribute gives the total count of packets this Vns component was expected to transmit, but had to discard. (For example, VNS packets may be discarded because there is no route to the given destination.) Packets counted here are not counted in totalTxPkts. The counter wraps around to zero when the maximum value is reached.

What is mscRtgVnsTotalTxDiscPkts?

This 64-bit counter gives the combined total (unicast plus multicast) of packets this Vns component was expected to transmit but had to discard, for example due to a missing route; these are not counted in the total-transmitted-packets counter. It's the single overall figure for outbound packet loss on this logical network at this node.
