I have intermapper installed, monitoring a large wide area network.
Several routers are showing TX Discards = xxxx/minute when using the
snmp traffic probe. Can someone please tell me what smnp variables
make up the TX Discard counter? I am trying to figure out what is
happening because many routers have large TX discards.
I am guessing since we are using Qos policies on these routers, I'm
seeing QoS drops, but not sure.
It's ifOutDiscards in the ifTable. In theory, I think, the discards
should indicate packets discarded because of things like resource
limitations. In practice, we have seen some SNMP implementations
which count other types of discards, such as discards due to firewall
rules, in this number.
