nlHostOutOctets
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::nlHostOutOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.14.2.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: ZeroBasedCounter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of octets transmitted by 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 nlHostOutOctets?
This object holds a running count of bytes transmitted from a host address, excluding framing overhead. Engineers monitor this to track outbound data volume and bandwidth consumption per host. Comparing this to inbound octets reveals whether traffic is balanced or lopsided, signaling potential application issues.
