For error reporting, the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors include misalignment errors. Jumbo packets with valid CRCs are not counted. A short packet can be reported as a short packet, a CRC error, or an overrun. In some circumstances, the transmitted octets counter might increment a small amount for a port with nothing attached.
