What is peakSwitchload?

This read-only integer reports the highest switch load percentage recorded since the last reset, relative to the device's 100% maximum switching capacity. Admins use this to identify the worst-case load the switch has experienced, useful for capacity planning even if current load looks fine. For example, a peak load of 98% recorded overnight would alert the admin to investigate what caused that spike even though current daytime load looks moderate.
