Statistics Description
Octets—IfHCIn
The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
characters.
UcastPkts—IfHCIn The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer,
which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this
sublayer.
BroadcastPkts—IfHCIn The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer,
which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer.
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.
