Description: The requested maximum number of octets to be saved in this captureBuffer, including any implementation-specific overhead. If this variable is set to -1, the capture buffer will save as many octets as is possible.

When this object is created or modified, the probe should set bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted as closely to this object as is possible for the particular probe implementation and available resources. However, if the object has the special value of -1, the probe must set bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted to -1.

What is bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested?

The requested maximum total size, in octets including overhead, for this capture buffer (default -1, meaning save as much as possible); the probe grants as close to this as its resources allow, reported back in bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted.
