alMatrixTopNReverseOctetRate
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::alMatrixTopNReverseOctetRate
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.17.4.1.9
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge32
Access: read-only
Description:
The number of octets seen of this protocol from the destination host to the source host during this sampling interval, counted using the rules for counting the alMatrixDSOctets object (note that the corresponding alMatrixSDOctets object selected is the one whose source address is equal to alMatrixTopNDestAddress and whose destination address is equal to alMatrixTopNSourceAddress.)
Note that if the value of alMatrixTopNControlRateBase is equal
to alMatrixTopNTerminalsOctets or alMatrixTopNAllOctets, the sort of topN entries is based entirely on alMatrixTopNOctetRate, and not on the value of this object.
What is alMatrixTopNReverseOctetRate?
This gauge counts the total bytes flowing in the reverse direction (destination back to source) during the sampling interval. Engineers analyze this alongside forward octet rate to understand the asymmetry of traffic—whether a conversation is downloading data (high forward rate, low reverse) or bidirectional (both rates high). If a web server shows 10 million octets/sec outbound but only 100,000 reverse, clients are requesting small queries and receiving large responses.
