1097.0. "Counters on the DECconcentrator 500" by OSLACT::BJORN (Bj�rn Olav Haugom) Mon Sep 27 1993 11:13

I have a question about MIB-counters on a DECconcenctrator 500.

Using MIB-I and MIB-II, you can get information from the interfaces of a
DECconcentrator 500. Now I wonder what the fields ifInOctets and ifOutOctets
gives me? you have these counters for every port on the DECconcentrator 500.

Do the counters count up every Octet of every frame that is passing through
each interface? Does this then mean that every octet of every frame on the ring
is counted up in these counters?

I would have thought ifxxx counters apply to the MAC, not the port.  In any
case, they refer to packets addressed to the concentrator, not to traffic
that's only passing through.
