hostControlDroppedFrames
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::hostControlDroppedFrames
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.4.4.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description:
The total number of frames which were received by the probe and therefore not accounted for in the *StatsDropEvents, but for which the probe chose not to count for this entry 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, unlike the dropEvents counter, this number is the exact number of frames dropped.
What is hostControlDroppedFrames?
This running count tracks frames dropped during per-host traffic analysis when the probe runs out of memory or CPU. Engineers use high values to identify when host-level statistics became incomplete. For example, if dropped frames spike during business hours, it signals the probe needs more resources.
