ifOutBroadcastPkts

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be

 

 

 

 

 

 

transmitted, and that were addressed to a broadcast address at this

 

 

 

 

 

 

sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dot3statsAlignmentErrors

The number of frames with an alignment error, that is, frames with

 

 

 

 

 

 

a length that is not an integral number of octets and where the frame

 

 

 

 

 

 

cannot pass the frame check sequence (FCS) test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dot3StatsFCSErrors

The number of frames with frame check errors, that is, where there

 

 

 

 

 

 

is an integral number of octets, but an incorrect FCS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames

The number of successfully transmitted frames that had exactly one

 

 

 

 

 

 

collision.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dot3StatsFrameTooLong

The count of frames received on a particular interface that exceed the

 

 

 

 

 

 

maximum permitted frame size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

etherStatsUndersizePkts

The number of packets received with a length less than 64 octets.
