DescriptionField
Average number of bits and
packets received per second in the
last 5 minutes. If the interface is
not in promiscuous mode, it senses
network traffic that it sends and
receives (rather than all network
traffic).
The 5-minute period
referenced in the
command output is a load
interval that is
configurable under the
interface. The default
value is 5 minutes.
Note
The 5-minute input should
be used only as an
approximation of traffic
per second during a given
5-minute period. This rate
is exponentially weighted
average with a time
constant of 5 minutes. A
period of four time
constants must pass before
the average will be within
two percent of the
instantaneous rate of a
uniform stream of traffic
over that period.
