### Description

```asn1
cifthThresholdType OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
absoluteValue(1),
deltaValue(2),
rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed(3)
}
MAX-ACCESS read-create
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The manner in which to compare cifthThresholdObject to
cifthThresholdFiredValue and cifthThresholdClearedValue.

The value 'absoluteValue' indicates that the value of
cifthThresholdObject is to be compared directly to
cifthThresholdFiredValue or cifthThresholdClearedValue.

The value 'deltaValue' indicates that the difference between
two successive samples of cifthThresholdObject is to be
compared to cifthThresholdFiredValue or
cifthThresholdClearedValue. The polling interval between
successive samples is defined in cifthThresholdSampleInterval.

The value 'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed' indicates that the
rate of increase of cifthThresholdObject is to be compared to
the negated value of cifthThresholdFiredValue used as the
exponent of 10, times the value of ifSpeed (if the value of
ifSpeed is less than the maximum value) or ifHighSpeed
(otherwise). For example, a value of cifthThresholdFiredValue
of 5 on a gigabit ethernet interface indicates a threshold of
10^-5 times the interface speed, which is equal to 10,000 per
second. When the value of this object is
'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed', the polling interval between
successive samples is determined automatically by the agent.

When the object identified by cifthThresholdObject is a
counter, a threshold type of 'deltaValue' or
'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed' should be used. When the
object identified by cifthThresholdObject is not a counter, a
threshold type of 'absoluteValue' should be used."
