protocolDistPkts
Module: RMONitor-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMONitor-MIB::protocolDistPkts
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.45.2.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: A count of the number of packets seen using the protocol identified by the corresponding protocolDistEthertype.
What is protocolDistPkts?
This counter tracks the total number of packets the agent has observed using the specific protocol identified by this row's protocolDistEthertype value. Admins monitor this to understand the traffic mix on a monitored segment, identifying which protocols dominate the network. For example, a rapidly climbing protocolDistPkts count for the IPv4 ethertype confirms that most traffic on the monitored interface is standard IP traffic.
