ethCurrentOctets

The total number of octets of data (including those 
in bad packets) received on the network (excluding 
framing bits but including FCS octets).
This object can be used as a reasonable estimate of
10-Megabit ethernet utilization.  If greater precision is
desired, the etherStatsPkts and etherStatsOctets 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 * (9.6 + 6.4) + (Octets * .8)
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.
