TABLE 3-43Traffic Statistics

Statistic	Description
Interface Statistics
• Received Octets	The total number of octets received on the interface, including
	framing characters.
• Received Unicast Packets	The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a
	higher-layer protocol.
• Received Multicast Packets	The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher
	(sub-)layer, which were addressed to a multicast address at
	this sub-layer.
• Received Broadcast Packets	The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher
	(sub-)layer, which were addressed to a broadcast address at
	this sub-layer.

•Received Discarded Packets The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

• 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.
