Ethernet History records periodic statistical samples from a network. A sample is called a history and is gathered in time intervals referred to as "buckets." Histories establish a time-dependent method for gathering Rmon statistics on a port. The default values for history are:
Both the time interval and the number of buckets is configurable. However, when the last bucket is reached, bucket 1 is dumped and "recycled" to hold a new bucket of statistics. Then bucket 2 is dumped, and so forth.
