This read-only counter represents the upper 32 bits of a 64-bit statistic that counts the total number of octets (bytes) forwarded out of a network egress queue group under arbiter scheduling. The full 64-bit value is obtained by combining this high-word value with the lower 32-bit counter (tPortNetEgrQGrpArbitStatFwdOcts). Port engineers use this to monitor egress traffic volume and validate that the correct amount of data is being transmitted through arbitrated queue groups.
