Threshold criteria:
— Percent traffic capacity utilized. This is the percent of the port's
throughput capacity achieved by the measured throughput. This setting
constitutes the threshold value. For example the value of 50 means that
the port's threshold is reached when throughput reaches 50% of port
capacity.
— Time interval during which throughput is measured and alert notification
can occur.
— The maximum cumulative time that throughput percentage can be
exceeded during the set time interval before an alert is generated.
