Table 57 IP statistics

Statistics

Description

 

 

ipInAddrErrors

The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header

 

destination field was not a valid address to be received at this switch. This count includes

 

invalid addresses (for example, 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported classes (for

 

example, Class E).

 

For entities which are not IP gateways and therefore do not forward datagrams, this

 

counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local

 

address.

 

 

ipInUnknownProtos

The number of locally addressed datagrams received successfully but discarded because

 

of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

 

 

ipInDiscards

The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent

 

their continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer

 

space).

 

This counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.

 

 

ipInDelivers

The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user-protocols (including

 

ICMP).

 

 

ipOutRequests

The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to

 

IP in requests for transmission.

 

This counter does not include any datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams.

 

 

ipOutDiscards

The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent

 

their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of

 

buffer space).

 

This counter would include datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams if any such packets

 

met this (discretionary) discard criterion.

 

 

ipDefaultTTL

The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live (TTL) field of the IP header of datagrams

 

originated at this switch, whenever a TTL value is not supplied by the transport layer

 

protocol.
