Rating column | Value assigned to the service by the service node, |
| indicating relative capacity to accept new |
| connections or new queue connections. This value is |

The SHOW/MONITOR NODE COUNTERS command displays the counters for messages transmitted between the access server and the selected LAT service nodes. The counters apply only to the specified LAT service nodes. Some of these counters are also maintained for all the service nodes that the access server recognizes. When you enter a specific node name for the SHOW/MONITOR NODE
Counters can help you estimate access server traffic on the network for specific time periods. For example, for information about daily access server usage, set the counters to zero at the start of each day.
You can also use counters data to calculate the average use of the Ethernet and the service nodes. By combining this data from the access server with the counters data from other access servers, you can calculate the network’s capacity to handle more traffic.
