subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

Inbound Discards

The number of inbound packets that were discarded even though no errors had been 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.

Inbound Errors

The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

Inbound Unknown Protocols

The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

Outbound Octets

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

Outbound 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.

Outbound Non-Unicast Packets

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a non-unicast (a subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent.

Outbound Discards

The number of outbound packets that were 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
