Field	Description
ifInOctets	The total number of octets received on the interface, including
	framing characters.
ifOutOctets	The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface,
	including framing characters.
ifInUcastPkts	The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher
	sublayer that were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast
	address at this sublayer.
ifOutUcastPkts	The number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be
	transmitted that were not addressed to a multicast address at this
	sublayer. This total number includes those packets discarded or
	unsent.
ifInNUcastPkts	The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a higher
	(sub)layer, which were addressed to a multicast or broadcast
	address at this sublayer.
ifOutNUcastPkts	The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested
	be transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast or
	broadcast address at this sublayer, including those that were
	discarded or not sent.
InDiscards	The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded
	even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being
	deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for
	discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
OutDiscards	The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be
	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 space.
