ethCurrentOctets
Module: SL-ETH-MIB
OID (symbolic): SL-ETH-MIB::ethCurrentOctets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.1.1.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets). This object can be used as a reasonable estimate of 10-Megabit ethernet utilization. If greater precision is desired, the etherStatsPkts and etherStatsOctets objects should be sampled before and after a common interval. The differences in the sampled values are Pkts and Octets, respectively, and the number of seconds in the interval is Interval. These values are used to calculate the Utilization as follows:
Pkts * (9.6 + 6.4) + (Octets * .8) Utilization = ------------------------------------- Interval * 10,000
The result of this equation is the value Utilization which is the percent utilization of the ethernet segment on a scale of 0 to 100 percent.
What is ethCurrentOctets?
Counts total bytes received on the interface during the current sampling interval, including bytes in bad packets, excluding framing bits but including FCS. Admins use this as the basis for a rough utilization estimate for the port's current 15-minute window, sampling before/after to compute a precise percentage if needed.
