| Description | An entry describes a flow monitor, which represents a hardware
or software entity that classifies traffic flows, monitors flow
data, and periodically computes flow metrics.
A simple device may only support a single flow monitor, where a
more sophisticated device may support more than one flow
monitor.
A device supporting multiple flow monitors creates a row in the
cfmFlowMonitorTable when it recognizes the addition of a new
flow monitor, such as might occur upon the insertion of a
line card that supports flow monitoring. Likewise, such a
device destroys a row in the cfmFlowMonitorTable when a flow
monitor has been removed. |
