Hi all:
How is the "Load" calculated on a serial interface, or any interface for
that matter?
Does it:
1. Use some weird formula like the 5 minute moving average? <<<Who
dreamed that thing up?
2. Use the greater of the input or output bps?
3. Add the current (input + output) bps together and ratio it against
the max possible (input + output) bps?
4. none of the above. <<<this is what I'm betting on..
We often use ciscoview to monitor circuits for error, dropped packets,
input/output bps etc. (It is a lot better than having to keep refreshing
your telnet sh int..sh int...sh int..) The utilization which comes from
the load never really seems to make any sense. For example: if the Tx is
maxed out the utilization does not indicate it... I gave up looking at
load/utilization a long time ago. Unfortunately my coworkers seem to
think that unless the utilization (via Ciscoview) is high that the slow
response issues have to be caused by something else. Needless to say;
when the circuit is upgraded and the slow response issues clear, there
is a lot of political knife sharpening...
TIA

PS: I did check archives. After 100+ messages not telling me what I
wanted to know; decided this was a group Question.
