etherStatsHighCapacityOctets

The total number of octets of data (including
those in bad packets) received on the
network (excluding framing bits but including
FCS octets).
              
If the network is half-duplex Fast Ethernet, this
object can be used as a reasonable estimate of
utilization. If greater precision is desired, the
etherStatsHighCapacityPkts and
etherStatsHighCapacityOctets objects should be sampled
before and after a common interval.  The differences
in the sampled values are Pkts and Octets,
respectively, and the number of seconds in the
interval is Interval.  These values
are used to calculate the Utilization as follows:
              
                Pkts * (.96 + .64) + (Octets * .08)
Utilization = -------------------------------------
                        Interval * 10,000
              
The result of this equation is the value Utilization
which is the percent utilization of the ethernet
segment on a scale of 0 to 100 percent.
              
This table is not appropriate for monitoring full-duplex
ethernets. If the network is a full-duplex ethernet and the
mediaIndependentTable is monitoring that network, the
utilization can be calculated as follows:
              
1) Determine the utilization of the inbound path by using
   the appropriate equation (for ethernet or fast ethernet)
   to determine the utilization, substituting
   mediaIndependentInPkts for etherStatsHighCapacityPkts, and
   mediaIndependentInOctets for etherStatsHighCapacityOctets.
   Call the resulting utilization inUtilization.
              
2) Determine the utilization of the outbound path by using
   the same equation to determine the utilization, substituting
   mediaIndependentOutPkts for etherStatsHighCapacityPkts, and
   mediaIndependentOutOctets for etherStatsHighCapacityOctets.
   Call the resulting utilization outUtilization.
              
3) The utilization is the maximum of inUtilization and
   outUtilization. This metric shows the amount of percentage
   of bandwidth that is left before congestion will be
   experienced on the link.
