counters INPUT COUNTERS

Octets - bytes received

Ucast - Unicast packets received

MultiCast - Multicast packets received

BroadCast - broadcast packets received

Discards - Number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

Errors - For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a number of inbound transmission units that contained higher-layer protocol.

Unknown Prot - unknown protocol in packet

OUTPUT COUNTERS

Octets - bytes transmitted

Ucast - unicast packets transmitted

MultiCast - multicast packets transmitted

Discards - Number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

Errors - For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units that

￿could not be transmitted because of errors.
