csubAggStatsThrottleEngagements 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.786.1.2.1.1.14

This object indicates the number of times that nodes contained within the 'scope of aggregation' have engaged the subscriber session throttle since the last discontinuity time. The mechanics of a subscriber session throttle vary with subscriber session type and implementation. However, the general concept of the throttle prevents a node from having to deal with more than a configured number of requests to establish subscriber sessions from the same CPE within the a configured interval of time. When the number of requests exceeds the configured threshold within the configured interval, then the node processing the requests engages the throttle. Typically, when a node engages a throttle, it drops requests from the CPE for some period of time, after which the node disengages the throttle. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of csubAggStatsDiscontinuityTime.
