	Table 3-11 Port Statistics
Parameter	Description
Interface Statistics
Received Octets	The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
	characters.
Received Unicast Packets	The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer
	protocol.
Received Multicast Packets	The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer,
	which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer.
Received Broadcast Packets	The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer,
	which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer.
Received Discarded Packets	The 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.
Received Unknown Packets	The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded
	because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
Received Errors	The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
	from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Transmit Octets	The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including
	framing characters.
Transmit Unicast Packets	The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were
	discarded or not sent.
Transmit Multicast Packets	The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this
	sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Broadcast Packets	The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted, and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this
	sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Discarded Packets	The 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.
Transmit Errors	The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of
	errors.
Etherlike Statistics
Alignment Errors	The number of alignment errors (missynchronized data packets).
Late Collisions	The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512 bit-times
	into the transmission of a packet.
FCS Errors	A count of frames received on a particular interface that are an integral
	number of octets in length but do not pass the FCS check. This count does
	not include frames received with frame-too-long or frame-too-short error.
