Description
Statistics
Octets Without Error
The total number of octets (bytes) of data successfully transmitted or received
by the processor (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Packets Without Errors
The total number of packets including unicast, broadcast, and multicast packets,
successfully transmitted or received by the processor.
Packets Discarded
The number of outbound (Transmit column) or inbound (Receive column)
packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been
detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. A possible
reason for discarding a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Unicast Packets
The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to or received from a
higher-layer protocol.
Multicast Packets
The total number of packets transmitted or received by the device that were
directed to a multicast address. Note that this number does not include packets
directed to the broadcast address.
Broadcast Packets
The total number of packets transmitted or received by the device that were
directed to the broadcast address. Note that this number does not include
multicast packets.
