qamChannelCommonUtilization

Module: SCTE-HMS-QAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): SCTE-HMS-QAM-MIB::qamChannelCommonUtilization

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5591.1.11.5.3.1.1.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The utilization of the QAM channel in 0.1 percentage. This rate may be calculated as transport stream packets / ( transport stream packets + null packets ). If not applicable, a value of -1 is returned.

What is qamChannelCommonUtilization?

This read-only integer, in units of 0.1 percent within -1 or 0 to 1000, reports how much of a QAM channel's capacity is actually used, calculated as transport-stream packets divided by transport-stream-plus-null packets, with -1 meaning not applicable. Admins monitor this to see how full a channel is and whether there's room for additional services. For example, a utilization reading of 950 (95.0%) would tell the admin that channel is nearly full and has little headroom for additional programming or data services.
