| Description | ********* THIS OBJECT IS DEPRECATED **********
            
            An entry in the table, containing total
            performance and error statistics for a single
            group.  Regular retrieval of the information in
            this table provides a means of tracking the
            performance and health of the networked devices
            attached to this group's ports.
            
            The counters in this table are redundant in the
            sense that they are the summations of information
            already available through other objects.  However,
            these sums provide a considerable optimization of
            network management traffic over the otherwise
            necessary retrieval of the individual counters
            included in each sum.
            
            Note:  Group-level counters are
            deprecated in this MIB.  It is recommended
            that management applications instead use
            the repeater-level counters contained in
            the rptrMonTable. |
