EtherStats CRC Align Errors: The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) between 64 and 1518 octets, but had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).

EtherStats Undersize Pkts: The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets long (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed.

EtherStats Oversize Pkts: The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed.

EtherStats Fragments: The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error). NOTE: this is entirely normal for etherStatsFragments to increment. This is because it counts both runts (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits.

EtherStats Jabbers: The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), and had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).

EtherStats Collisions: The best estimate of the total number of collisions on this Ethernet segment. The value returned will depend on the location of the RMON probe.

Pkts 64 Octets: The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets).
