Field

Description

InOctets

The total number of octets received on the interface,
including framing characters.

OutOctets

The total number of octets transmitted out of the
interface, including framing characters.

InUcastPkts

The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a
higher sublayer that were not addressed to a multicast
or broadcast address at this sublayer.

OutUcastPkts

The number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted that were not addressed to a
multicast address at this sublayer. This total number
includes those packets discarded or unsent.

InNUcastPkts

The number of packets delivered by this sublayer to a
higher (sub)layer that were addressed to a multicast or
broadcast address at this sublayer.

OutNUcastPkts

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and that were addressed
to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer,
including those that were discarded or not sent.

InDiscards

The number of inbound packets that 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 is to free up buffer space.

OutDiscards

The number of outbound packets which 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 is to free up buffer space.

InErrors

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound
packets that contained errors preventing them from
being deliverable 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.
