Statistics

Description

 

 

MulticastPkts—IfHCIn

The total number of packets, delivered by this sublayer. These are the packets that

 

higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and which were addressed to a

 

multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent.

 

For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses.

 

 

Discards—IfHCIn

The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though

 

no errors were detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

 

One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

 

 

Errors—IfHCIn

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors

 

preventing them from being delivered 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

 

higher-layer protocol.

 

 

Octets—IfHCOut

The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing

 

characters.

 

 

UcastPkts—IfHCOut

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

 

and which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer,

 

including those that were discarded or not sent.

 

 

BroadcastPkts—IfHCOut

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

 

and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer, including those

 

that were discarded or not sent. This object is a 64-bit version of

 

ifOutBroadcastPkts.

 

 

MulticastPkts—IfHCOut

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

 

and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer, including those

 

that were discarded or not sent.

 

For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses. This

 

object is a 64-bit version of ifOutMulticastPkts.

 

 

Discards—IfHCOut

The number of outbound packets that 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—IfHCOut

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.
