Re: ifInOctets....

Thanks but I don't think that helps with my question. I think that this is
manner how the value is created. I am interested in what snmpCollect is
snmpgetting every 30 seconds, i.e. is it an average over the 30 senconds or
simply the octets/second at that instant in time??

Any information appreciated.
