• 5 minute Output Rate—The average output rate over the past five minutes, in both bits per second
and packets per second. For example, “10/40” shows that 10 packets are currently in the queue,
which can hold 40 packets.
• Input Packets—The total number of MAC layer packets received on the downstream at the cable
interface.
• Input Bytes—The total number of bytes output on the downstream at the cable interface.
• Input Queue—The current state of the input queue, shown as a ratio of the number of packets
currently in the queue over the maximum size of the queue. For example, “13/75” shows that 13
packets are currently in the queue, which can hold 75 packets.
• 5 minute Input Rate—The average input rate over the past five minutes, in both bits per second and
packets per second.
• Transmit Load—The current transmit load, shown as a ratio of the packets currently in the transmit
buffer over the size of the buffer.
• Receive Load—The current receive load, shown as a ratio of the packets currently in the receive
buffer over the size of the buffer.
