etherStatsOctets
Module: RMON-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON-MIB::etherStatsOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
This object can be used as a reasonable estimate of 10-Megabit ethernet utilization. If greater precision is desired, the etherStatsPkts and etherStatsOctets objects should be sampled before and after a common interval. The differences in the sampled values are Pkts and Octets, respectively, and the number of seconds in the interval is Interval. These values are used to calculate the Utilization as follows:
Pkts * (9.6 + 6.4) + (Octets * .8) Utilization = ------------------------------------- Interval * 10,000
The result of this equation is the value Utilization which is the percent utilization of the ethernet segment on a scale of 0 to 100 percent.
What is etherStatsOctets?
The total number of octets of data received on this monitored network segment, including octets in bad packets; combined with etherStatsPkts sampled over a known interval, this value can be used to estimate the segment's percent utilization.
