Unknown Protocol Packets

The number of packets received by the interface, which were discarded because of an

 

unknown or unsupported protocol.

 

 

In Octets

The total number of octets received on the interface, including the framing characters.

 

For Ethernet interface, this will have the lower 32 bits of HC in octets.

 

 

Out Octets

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

 

characters. For Ethernet interface, this will have the lower 32 bits of HC out octets.

 

 

In Discards

The number of inbound packets, which were discarded, though no errors were

 

detected.

 

 

Out Discards

The number of outbound packets chosen to be discarded even though there were no

 

errors.

 

 

In Errors

The number of inbound packets, which were not delivered to upper layers because of

 

errors.

 

 

Out Errors

The number of outbound packets to be discarded because there were errors.

 

 

In Unicast Packets

The number of unicast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.

 

 

Out Unicast Packets

The number of packets requested to be sent to unicast addresses, by upper layer

 

protocol.

 

 

In Multicast Packets

The number of multicast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.

 

 

Out Multicast Packets

The number of packets requested to be sent to multicast addresses, by upper layer

 

protocol.

 

 

In Broadcast Packets

The number of broadcast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.
