protocolDistOctets
Module: RMONitor-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMONitor-MIB::protocolDistOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.45.2.2.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: A count of the number of octets in packets seen using the protocol identified by the corresponding protocolDistEthertype.
What is protocolDistOctets?
This counter tracks the total number of octets (bytes) the agent has observed in packets using the specific protocol identified by this row's protocolDistEthertype value. Admins use it alongside protocolDistPkts to gauge not just packet counts but actual bandwidth consumption per protocol on a monitored segment. For example, a high protocolDistOctets value for one ethertype relative to its packet count would indicate that protocol is using larger average frame sizes than others.
