### Packet Forwarded (slbStatsUnassistedSwitchingPkts)

Number of packets forwarded by the Software Load Balancing (SLB) device's management software.

### Packets Handled (slbStatsAssistedSwitchingPkts)

Number of packets handled by SLB which were switched via the highest-performance switching path.

### Created Connections (slbStatsCreatedConnections)

Number of TCP and UDP connections created since SLB was configured. Note the following:

> TCP connections are created after a connection SYN is received.

> UDP connections are created based on the source and destination and are removed after a configured amount of time.

### Established Connections (slbStatsEstablishedConnections)

Number of connections established through SLB (in other words, reached the ESTAB state). Note the following:

> TCP connections reach the ESTAB state after a SYN - SYN/ACK exchange.

> UDP connections reach the ESTAB state after data is sent from the client or server.

### Destroyed Connections (slbStatsDestroyedConnections)

Number of TCP and UDP connections destroyed by SLB, either by TCP/IP teardown or timeout.

Note: UDP connections can only be timed out.
