xtmClassGenEventWhenDroppingPkt 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.2.1.2.1.59

The CBQ Class object controlling whether the class will generate an event message when filtering a packet. Note that a filter class (a class that is filtering all packets which match it) is a class with no bandwidth allocated to it (xtmClassRate == 0) and is also bounded and cannot borrow (xtmClassBounded == true). Also note that filter classes do not queue packets; therefore modifying the xtmClassQueueElasticityFactor has no effect on this class. It is also important to understand that setting this object to a value of true has performance implications for the system. During the time it takes to generate the event message, the CPU cannot be utilized to forward packets. As the system must generate an event message for each packet that matches the class and is subsequently dropped, the operator should be cautious and use this feature where truly needed.
