Statistics Description
MulticastPkts—IfHCIn
The total number of packets, delivered by this sublayer. These are the packets that
higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and which were addressed to a
multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses.
Discards—IfHCIn
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though
no errors were detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Errors—IfHCIn
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound
transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a
higher-layer protocol.
Octets—IfHCOut
The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing
characters.
UcastPkts—IfHCOut
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted,
and which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer,
including those that were discarded or not sent.
BroadcastPkts—IfHCOut
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted,
and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer, including those
that were discarded or not sent. This object is a 64-bit version of
ifOutBroadcastPkts.
MulticastPkts—IfHCOut
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted,
and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer, including those
that were discarded or not sent.
For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses. This
object is a 64-bit version of ifOutMulticastPkts.
Discards—IfHCOut
The number of outbound packets that 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.
Errors—IfHCOut
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound
transmission units that could not be transmitted because of errors.
