Karl,
CRS messages are very small (around 100s of bytes) and CSS messages
are less than 1K. Also you have around 30 seconds to evict the node
during any of these message-not-reaching-target-due-to-congestion
situations. Its very very rare case of node evictions due to
congestion.
On the other hand, if you suspect you are flooding the interconnect,
you will have a bigger problem. Most common interconnects I see these
days are 10gigE.
10gigBits=1GigBytes/sec=1024MBytes/sec=1024*128*8K=128M*8K ~100M
blocks/sec. Unless all your data virtually lives in the interconnect
you will not saturate the pipe.
To answer your original question, AWR has a section called "Estimated
Interconnect Traffic" which is built on top of CR_Sever views. You can
query the gv$ CR server views to find out the number of blocks served
during that time and see how much bandwidth you may use.
