nlMatrixTopNPktRate
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::nlMatrixTopNPktRate
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.15.5.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge32
Access: read-only
Description:
The number of packets seen from the source host to the destination host during this sampling interval, counted using the rules for counting the nlMatrixSDPkts object. If the value of nlMatrixTopNControlRateBase is nlMatrixTopNPkts, this variable will be used to sort this report.
What is nlMatrixTopNPktRate?
This current-level gauge shows how many packets per second flowed from source to destination during this sampling period. Engineers use this to identify conversations with high packet rates—often signs of protocol overhead, retransmissions, or denial-of-service attacks. Example: 50,000 packets/sec from a single host suggests either legitimate bulk file transfer or an anomaly worth investigating.
