space.

 

 

Received Unknown

The number of packets received via the interface

Packets

which were discarded because of an unknown or

protocols requested be transmitted to a

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

The total number of packets that higher-level

Packets

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

The number of outbound packets which were chosen

Packets

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.
