FlowMetricScale

• Base type Enumeration

This textual convention denotes an enumerated integer-value that represents an International System of Units (SI) prefix used as a scaling factor for fixed-point values: Prefix Scale Factor ========================= 'yocto' 10E-24 'zepto' 10E-21 'atto' 10E-18 'femto' 10E-15 'pico' 10E-12 'nano' 10E-9 'micro' 10E-6 'milli' 10E-3 'units' 10E0 'kilo' 10E3 'mega' 10E6 'giga' 10E9 'tera' 10E12 'exa' 10E15 'peta' 10E18 'zetta' 10E21 'yotta' 10E24 A MIB module may abstract a fixed-point value by defining three objects together: 1) A FlowMetricScale object, which indicates the scale of the value. 2) A FlowMetricPrecision object, which indicates the precision of the value. In the case that the value has a fractional portion, this object indicates the number of digits comprising the fractional portion. 3) A FlowMetricValue object, which indicates the value before scaling.
