[c-nsp] interpretation of sysTrafficPeakTime

[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Tasso,

Your analysis makes sense.
It seems that this OID is basically what you can see with this command:
Router#show catalyst6000 traffic-meter
  traffic meter =   1%  Never cleared
           peak =   1%        reached at 20:14:17 UTC Tue Jul 29 2008

Subject: [c-nsp] interpretation of sysTrafficPeakTime


According to the cisco-stack-mib:

sysTrafficPeakTime OBJECT-TYPE
         SYNTAX        TimeTicks
         MAX-ACCESS    read-only
         STATUS        current
DESCRIPTION   "The time (in hundredths of a second) since the peak
traffic meter value
occurred."
         ::= { systemGrp 20 }


Can someone please interpret the above description?


I'm thinking of 2 different values here:

1) current time (present) <=== peak time (past)     : the value should
increase as time passes by (*)

2) power-on/reset time (past) ===> peak time (past) : the value should
stay constant as time passes by (*)


If i was to interpret it, i would probably choose the 1st one, but
according to my sample snmp outputs on some 6500s/7600s the 2nd seems to
be the correct one.

(*) having only one peak traffic time
