Load
The number of bytes processed by the indicated interface during the last poll
interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load for that interface type.
Load is further defined by the following parameters:

When you select this option, a Bar Graph field will be added to the interface
display area; this field is only available when Load is the selected base unit.
Rate
The count for the selected statistic during the last poll interval. The available
parameters are the same as those provided for Raw Counts. Refer to the Raw

reason for discard would be to free up buffer space in the
