Field	Description
InDiscards	Number of inbound packets that were discarded even though no errors were detected. One
	reason for discarding such packets is lack of buffer space.

	a higher-layer protocol.
OutOctets	Total number of bytes transmitted from the interface, including framing characters.
OutUcastPkts	Total number of packets requested by higher-level protocols for retransmission to a unicast
	address, including those either discarded or not sent.
OutNUcastPkts	Total number of packets requested by higher-level protocols for retransmission to a broadcast
	or multicast address, including those either discarded or not sent.
OutDiscards	The number of outbound packets containing errors that prevented them from being delivered
	to a higher-layer protocol. One reason for discarding such packets is to free up buffer space.
OutError	Number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted due to errors.
