Thanks for the quick reply, Mohit. Can we measure/monitor the size of Hinted Handoffs? Would it be a good enough indicator of my back log?
Although we know when a network is flaky, we are interested in knowing how much data is piling up in local DC that needs to be transferred. Greatly appreciate your help.
