PROBE::IPMIB.OUTRE(3stap)

💖 probe::ipmib.OutRequests 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SNMP Information Tapset — that's the manual family this page lives in (section 3stap, if you're keeping score). this one's about a lil probe that just... counts a request to send a packet. that's it. that's the job. and honestly? she does it flawlessly. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

probe::ipmib.OutRequests — count a request to send a packet 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe ipmib.OutRequests {}

no args, no drama, just vibes. she's a no-parameter probe and she knows it. 👑

---

🦋 VALUES 🦋

the two things you get to peek at inside this probe:

• skb — a pointer to the struct sk_buff that's being acted on. like, the actual packet in question. she's holding it. respectfully. 🎀
• op — the value that gets added to the counter. its default is literally just 1, so yeah, one packet = one count. iconic math, no cap. ✨

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea: the packet that skb points at gets filtered by the function ipmib_filter_key. 🧚

and if that packet passes the filter? it gets counted in the global OutRequests — which is equivalent to SNMP's MIB IPSTATS_MIB_OUTREQUESTS. lowkey just a fancy way of saying "we're keeping score of outgoing requests over here." 💯
