alMatrixTopNReversePktRate
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::alMatrixTopNReversePktRate
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.17.4.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of packets seen of this protocol from the destination host to the source host during this sampling interval, counted using the rules for counting the alMatrixDSPkts object. (Note that the corresponding alMatrixSDPkts 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 alMatrixTopNTerminalsPkts or alMatrixTopNAllPkts, the sort of topN entries is based entirely on alMatrixTopNPktRate, and not on the value of this object.
What is alMatrixTopNReversePktRate?
This gauge counts packets flowing in the opposite direction—from destination back to source—during the same sampling interval. Engineers use this to determine if traffic is one-way (like a download from server to client) or bidirectional (like a client-server conversation with requests and responses). A high packet rate in both directions from 192.168.1.50 to 10.0.1.20 indicates active request-response traffic rather than a unidirectional broadcast or log dump.
