Interfaces

•Out Discards (Ethernet/Wireless): The number of error-free outbound packets chosen to be discarded to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

•Out Errors (Ethernet/Wireless): The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.

•Out Non-unicast Packets (Ethernet/Wireless): The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a non-unicast (i.e., a subnetwork-broadcast orsubnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent.

•Out Octets (bytes) (Ethernet/Wireless): The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.

•Out Unicast Packets (Ethernet/Wireless):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.

•Output Queue Length (Ethernet/Wireless): The length of the output packet queue (in packets).

•Physical Address (Ethernet): The interface's address at the protocol layer immediately below the network layer in the protocol stack.

•Received Fragment Count (Wireless): The number of successfully received Data or Management MAC Protocol Data Units (MPDUs).

•Retry Count (Wireless): The number of packets successfully transmitted after one or more retransmissions.

•Single Collision Frames (Ethernet): The number of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision

•Speed (Ethernet/Wireless): An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second.

•SQE Test Errors (Ethernet):The number of times that the Signal Quality Error (SQE) Test Error message is generated by the physical layer signalling (PLS) sublayer.

•Successful RTS Count (Wireless): The number of times a Clear to Send (CTS) is received in response to an Request to Send (RTS).

•Transmitted Fragment Count (Wireless): The number of trasnmitted fragmented packets.

•Transmitted Frame Count (Wireless): This number of successfully transmitted packets.

•Type (Ethernet/Wireless): The type of interface, distinguished according to the physical/link protocol(s) immediately below the network layer in the protocol stack.

•Unknown Protocols (Ethernet/Wireless): The number of packets received that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

•WEP Undecryptable Count (Wireless): The number of undecryptable WEP frames received.
