nlHostOutPkts
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::nlHostOutPkts
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.14.2.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: ZeroBasedCounter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of packets without errors transmitted by this address since it was added to the nlHostTable. Note that this is the number of link-layer packets, so if a single network-layer packet is fragmented into several link-layer frames, this counter is incremented several times.
What is nlHostOutPkts?
This object holds a running count of error-free packets sent from a host address. Network engineers track this to confirm a host is actively transmitting and to detect transmission stops that might indicate device failure or network disconnection. For example, if this counter remains flat while other hosts show increasing values, the device may have stopped communicating.
