Datagrams Failing
Fragmentation
The number of datagrams that have been discarded because
they needed to be fragmented at this entity but could not be,
e.g., because their “Don't Fragment” flag was set.
Received Header Errors The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in
their IP headers, including bad checksums, version number
mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, errors
discovered in processing their IP options, etc.
Unknown Protocols
Received
The number of locally-addressed datagrams received
successfully but discarded because of an unknown or
unsupported protocol.
Received Packets
Delivered
The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to
IP user-protocols (including ICMP).
Discarded Output Packets The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem
was encountered to prevent their transmission to their
destination, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer
space).
Fragments Created The number of datagram fragments that have been generated
as a result of fragmentation at this entity.
Routing Discards The number of routing entries which were chosen to be
discarded even though they are valid. One possible reason for
discarding such an entry could be to free-up buffer space for
other routing entries.
Reassembly Successful The number of datagrams successfully re-assembled.
Datagrams Successfully
Fragmented
The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully
fragmented at this entity.
