Hello Hossein,

As you asked for a particular OID, that's not possible. SNMP does not evaluate the content of the packets, just the throughput.

If you want to differentiate between the traffic types, I recommend to configure your device to forward the data to a PRTG Probe via a mirror port. You can than apply Filter Rules for Packet Sniffer Sensors, like

EtherType[IPV4]
