### Description

```asn1
interfaceTopNObjectSampleType OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
absoluteValue(1),
deltaValue(2),
bandwidthPercentage(3)}
MAX-ACCESS read-create
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The method of sampling the selected variable for storage in the interfaceTopNTable.
If the value of this object is absoluteValue(1), the value of the selected variable will be copied directly into the topNValue.
If the value of this object is deltaValue(2), the value of the selected variable at the last sample will be subtracted from the current value, and the difference will be stored in topNValue.
If the value of this object is bandwidthPercentage(3), the agent records the total number of octets sent over an interval divided by the total number of octets that represent '100% bandwidth' for that interface. This ratio is multiplied by 1000 to retain a 3 digit integer (0..1000) in units of 'tenth of one percent'. This type of computation is accurate for the octet counters. The usage of this option with respect to packets or error counters is not recommended.
This object may not be modified if the associated interfaceTopNControlStatus object is equal to active(1)."
