alMatrixTopNPktRate
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::alMatrixTopNPktRate
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.17.4.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of packets seen of this protocol from the source host to the destination host during this sampling interval, counted using the rules for counting the alMatrixSDPkts object.
If the value of alMatrixTopNControlRateBase is alMatrixTopNTerminalsPkts or alMatrixTopNAllPkts, this variable will be used to sort this report.
What is alMatrixTopNPktRate?
This gauge shows the current count of packets per second (or sampling interval) flowing from the source host to the destination host in this conversation. Engineers monitor this to see if a particular host pair is consuming bandwidth through many small packets or fewer large ones, helping identify chatty protocols like DNS or NTP versus bulk transfers. A value of 500 packets/second from a database server to a workstation suggests real-time transaction traffic, not a backup.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
