Collisions – the number of times the Ethernet controller attempts to send a packet, but another device on the network transmitted at the same time, corrupting the transmission.

Collision Drops – the number of packets the Ethernet controller discards, because there were over sixteen collisions. After sixteen collisions, the Ethernet controller hardware discards the current packet and attempts to send the next packet in its buffer.

CRC Errors – the number of packets discarded by the Ethernet controller, because of a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) error.
