Port Statistic  Description 
EtherStatsFragments 
The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in 
length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and had either a 
bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with 
a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error). It is normal for 
StatsFragments to increment because both runts, which are normal 
occurrences due to collisions, and noise hits are counted. 
EtherStatsPkts64Octets 
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 64 
octets in length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets). 
EtherStatsPkts65to127Octets 
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 
between 65 and 127 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits, but 
including FCS octets). 
EtherStatsPkts128to255Octets 
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 
between 128 and 255 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits, 
but including FCS octets). 
EtherStatsPkts256to511Octets 
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 
between 256 and 511 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits, 
but including FCS octets). 
EtherStatsPkts512to1023Octets 
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 
between 512 and 1023 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits, 
but including FCS octets). 
EtherStatsPkts1024to1518Octets 
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 
between 1024 and 1518 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing 
bits, but including FCS octets). 
EtherStatsOversizePkts 
The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets 
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise 
well-formed. 
EtherStatsJabbers 
The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets 
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), and had either a bad 
FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a 
non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error). This definition of jabber is 
different than the definition in IEEE-802.3 section 8.2.1.5 (10BASE5) and 
section 10.3.1.4 (10BASE2). These documents define jabber as the 
condition where any packet exceeds 20 ms. The allowed range to detect 
jabber is between 20 ms and 150 ms. 
EtherStatsOctets 
The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) 
received on the FCS octets). This object can be used as a reasonable 
estimate of Ethernet utilization. If greater precision is required, the 
StatsPkts and StatsOctets objects should be sampled before and after a 
common interval. The differences in the sampled values are Pkts and 
O
ctets, respectively, and the number of seconds in the interval is Interval. 
These values are used to calculate the Utilization as follows: Utilization = 
[(Pkts * (9.6 + 6.4) + (Octets * .8)) / (Interval * 10,000)]. The result of this 
equation is the value Utilization which is the percent utilization of the 
Ethernet segment on a scale of 0 to 100 percent. 
EtherStatsPkts 
The total number of packets (including bad packets, broadcast packets, 
and multicast packets) received.
