Exactly as Alfred says.  However, if you ever move this expression to be
collected by an MLM Threshold table, THEN you will need to take into
account the collection duration.

List,

      The formula in mibexpr.conf is BandwidthUtilHdx = (8*100*(IFin+IFout))/IFSpeed. Now, the formula should be a percentage but IFin and IFout are both in bytes which get converted to bits by multiplying by 8 but IFSpeed in bits per second. The result of the division is still in
seconds with a multiplication of 100 for it to be a percentage. So the question is whether we still need to divide the formula with the collection duration to get a real percentage figure.
 

Thank you,
Tsubasa
