Unknown Protocol Packets The number of packets received by the interface, which were discarded because of an
unknown or unsupported protocol.
In Octets The total number of octets received on the interface, including the framing characters.
For Ethernet interface, this will have the lower 32 bits of HC in octets.
Out Octets The total number of octets transmitted out the interface, including the framing
characters. For Ethernet interface, this will have the lower 32 bits of HC out octets.
In Discards The number of inbound packets, which were discarded, though no errors were
detected.
Out Discards The number of outbound packets chosen to be discarded even though there were no
errors.
In errors The number of inbound packets, which were not delivered to upper layers because of
errors.
Out errors The number of outbound packets to be discarded because there were errors.
In Unicast Packets The number of unicast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.
Out Unicast Packets The number of packets requested to be sent to unicast addresses, by upper layer
protocol.
In Multicast Packets The number of multicast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.
Out Multicast Packets The number of packets requested to be sent to multicast addresses, by upper layer
