Access: read-only
Description: The number of octets transmitted to this address since it was added to the nlHostTable (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), excluding octets in packets that contained errors.
Note that this doesn't count just those octets in the particular protocol frames but includes the entire packet that contained the protocol.
What is nlHostInOctets?
This object holds a running count of bytes received by a host address, excluding framing but including all protocol data. Engineers use this to measure inbound traffic volume and identify whether a host is receiving expected data rates. A sudden drop in this counter might indicate network problems affecting delivery to that host.
