RMON field descriptions
The following table describes fields on the RMON tab.
Name
Description
Octets Specifies the number of octets of data (including those in bad packets)
received on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
You can use this object as a reasonable estimate of Ethernet utilization. If
additional precision is desired, sample the Pkts and Octets objects before
and after a common interval. The differences in the sampled values are Pkts
and Octets, 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.
Pkts Specifies the number of packets (including bad packets, broadcast packets,
and multicast packets) received.
