Inbound_associations The current number of inbound (remote initiated) associations with the entity Number  
Outbound_associations The current number of outbound (locally initiated) associations with the entity Number  
Queue_length The number of outstanding messages currently queued for transfer to the entity Number A consistently increasing value could indicate that fewer messages are being processed by the MTA. This could necessitate further scrutiny.

Data_received The amount of message data received from the connected entity during the last measurement period KB The values of these measures indicate the load handled by an MTA connection.
Data_transmitted The amount of message data transmitted to the connected entity during the last measurement period KB
Message_receive_rate The rate at which messages are received from the connected entity during the last measurement period Messages/Sec The values of these measures indicate how quickly messages are processed by the MTA connection.
