Received Errors The number of inbound packets that contained
errors preventing them from being deliverable to
a higher-layer protocol.
Transmit Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of the
interface, including framing characters.
Transmit Unicast
Packets
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.
Transmit Multicast
Packets
The total number of packets that higher-level
protocols requested be transmitted, and which
were addressed to a multicast address at this
sub-layer, including those that were discarded or
not sent.
Transmit Broadcast
Packets
The total number of packets that higher-level
protocols requested be transmitted, and which
were addressed to a broadcast address at this
sub-layer, including those that were discarded or
not sent.
Transmit Discarded
Packets
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.
Transmit Errors The number of outbound packets that could not
be transmitted because of errors.
Etherlike Statistics
Alignment Errors The number of alignment errors
(missynchronized data packets).
Late Collisions The number of times that a collision is detected
later than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a
packet.
