DESCRIPTION

"This TC describes an object which counts events with the

following semantics: objects of this type will be set to

zero(0) on creation and will thereafter count appropriate

events, wrapping back to zero(0) when the value 2^32 is

reached.

Provided that an application discovers the new object within

the minimum time to wrap it can use the initial value as a

delta since it last polled the table of which this object is

part. It is important for a management station to be aware of

this minimum time and the actual time between polls, and to

discard data if the actual time is too long or there is no

defined minimum time.

Typically this TC is used in tables where the INDEX space is

constantly changing and/or the TimeFilter mechanism is in use."
