[j-nsp] Accuracy of interface stats

[The Drifter]

Hi folks,

How sensitive/accurate is the show interface statistics in capturing the real time flow of traffic? 

When monitoring the OC-192 interface the peak utilization on the interface and MRTG was showing 9.2Gbps. But, there were packet losses clocking by second! 

 

Is this because the interface statistics are not capable of capturing/reflecting  high bandwidth OC-48,OC-192,etc traffic patterns?

 

Thanks,

Jimmy
