alHostInOctets
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::alHostInOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.16.1.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: ZeroBasedCounter32
Access: read-only
Description:
The number of octets transmitted to this address of this protocol type since it was added to the alHostTable (excluding framing bits but including
FCS octets), excluding those octets in packets that contained errors.
Note this doesn't count just those octets in the particular protocol frames, but includes the entire packet that contained the protocol.
What is alHostInOctets?
This object holds a byte count of all traffic data received by a host address, excluding corrupted packets. Engineers use this to measure total inbound bandwidth consumption and detect unusual traffic patterns or excessive incoming data. A sudden spike in inOctets could signal a misconfiguration, data transfer, or potential security issue.
