Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, for example, when the device is rebooted.
What is pimOutAsserts?
This counter records the total number of PIM Assert messages sent by this router to resolve multicast forwarding conflicts. Assert messages are used in PIM sparse-mode to determine which router should forward multicast traffic when multiple routers send traffic upstream. Operators monitor this metric to diagnose multicast routing disputes and convergence behavior.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
