Table 45 Interface Statistics for Port
Statistics Description
ifInOctets The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
characters.
ifInUcastPkts The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub-
layer, which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at
this sub-layer.
ifInBroadcastPkts 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.
ifInMulticastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be
transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this
sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC
layer protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses.
ifInFlowControlPkts The total number of flow control pause packets received on the
interface.
ifInDiscards The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded
even though no errors had been 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.
