Statistics

Description

 

 

ifInOctets

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

 

characters.

 

 

ifInUcastPkts

The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub- layer,

 

which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-

 

layer.

 

 

ifInBroadcastPkts

The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub- layer,

 

which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer.

 

 

ifInMulticastPkts

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be

 

transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-

 

layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer

 

protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses.

 

 

ifInDiscards

The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be 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.

 

 

ifInErrors

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that con-

 

tained errors preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer pro-

 

tocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of

 

inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from

 

being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
