nlMatrixDSOctets

Module: RMON2-MIB

OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::nlMatrixDSOctets

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.15.3.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: ZeroBasedCounter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of octets transmitted from the source address to the destination address since this entry was added to the nlMatrixDSTable (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 nlMatrixDSOctets?

This holds a running count of bytes transmitted from source to destination since the entry was created, using a zero-based counter that never resets. Network engineers use this to track total data volume flowing between two specific hosts to identify bandwidth-heavy conversations. For example, if this counter shows 5,000,000,000 bytes, it means five gigabytes have flowed from the source IP to the destination IP since monitoring started.

Examples
