perfsonar development work

Hi,

Packet counters are measured using standard MIBs. There are interface 
counters for unicast and non unicast packets. SNMP variables for that are:

ifInNUcastPkts : .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.12
ifOutNUcastPkts : .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.18
(Non-unicast packets)

ifInUcastPkts : .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.11
ifOutUcastPkts : .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17
(Unicast packets)

These are the standard SNMP variables for these counters.

My suggestion for the eventTypes for perfSONAR would be:

http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/characteristic/packets/nonunicast/2.0/
http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/characteristic/packets/unicast/2.0/

Cheers,
Fausto
