alMatrixDSOctets

Module: RMON2-MIB

OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::alMatrixDSOctets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.17.2.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: ZeroBasedCounter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of octets in packets of this protocol type transmitted from the source address to the destination address since this entry was added to the alMatrixDSTable (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), excluding octets in packets that contained errors.

Note that this doesn't count just those octets in the particular protocol frames but includes the entire packet that contained the protocol.

What is alMatrixDSOctets?

This object holds a byte count of traffic flowing from a destination back to a source address, excluding corrupted packets. Engineers use this to detect traffic imbalance and understand reply-traffic patterns for request-response protocols. If DSO bytes are unexpectedly high relative to SDO bytes, the return path may carry more data than expected, suggesting server responses are large.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.17.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::alMatrixDSOctets

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.17.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RMON2-MIB::alMatrixDSOctets.1
