hlHostControlNlDroppedFrames
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::hlHostControlNlDroppedFrames
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.14.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of frames that were received by the probe and therefore not accounted for in the *StatsDropEvents, but that the probe chose not to count for the associated nlHost entries for whatever reason. Most often, this event occurs when the probe is out of some resources and decides to shed load from this collection.
This count does not include packets that were not counted because they had MAC-layer errors.
Note that if the nlHostTable is inactive because no protocols are enabled in the protocol directory, this value should be 0.
Note that, unlike the dropEvents counter, this number is the exact number of frames dropped.
What is hlHostControlNlDroppedFrames?
This running count tallies frames the probe received but chose not to process for network-layer (IP-level) host statistics due to resource constraints. Rising counts indicate the probe is shedding load and your host traffic statistics are incomplete. If this climbs faster than normal traffic arrival, your probe may be undersized.
