This object measures the volume of traffic (in bytes) that has been redirected or 'shunted' based on the Ethernet frame type (EtherType), and is tracked as a gauge that represents the current rate of shunted traffic. PacketLogic uses shunting to redirect traffic for analysis, filtering, or quality-of-service management. An operator would monitor this to track how much traffic is being diverted by type-based rules and to identify which frame types consume the most bandwidth.
