In Unicast Pkts.

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

In Non-Unicast Pkts.

The number of non-unicast (that is, subnetwork- broadcast or

 

subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

In Discards

The number of inbound packets which 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.

In Errors

The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from

 

being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

Alignment Errors

The number of alignment errors (mis-synchronized data packets).

Out Octets

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

 

 

characters.

Out Unicast Pkts.

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

 

transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were

 

discarded or not sent.

Out Non-Unicast Pkts.

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

 

transmitted to a non- unicast (that is, a subnetwork-broadcast or

 

subnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent.

Out Discards

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.

Out Errors

The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of

 

errors.

CRC Errors

Number of Ethernet Cyclic Redundancy Check errors detected by this device.

 

 

Ethernet-Like

 

Single Collisions

The number of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission is

 

inhibited by exactly one collision.

Deferred Transmissions

A count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular

 

interface is delayed because the medium was busy.

Excessive Collisions

The number of frames for which transmission failed due to excessive collisions.

Drop Events

The total number of events in which packets were dropped due to lack of

 

resources.

Octets

Number of octets passing through this port.

Multiple Collisions

A count of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission is inhibited

 

by more than one collision.

Late Collisions

The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512 bit-times into the

 

transmission of a packet.

Carrier Sense Errors

The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or never asserted

 

when attempting to transmit a frame.
