Description
1
DropEvents
The total number of events in which packets
were dropped by the probe due to lack of
resources. Note that this number is not
necessarily the number of packets dropped; it is
just the number of times this condition has been
detected.
2
Octets
The total number of octets of data, including
those in bad packets, received on the network
(excluding framing bits but including FCS
octets).
3
Pkts
The total number of packets received, including
bad packets, broadcast packets, and multicast
packets.
4
BroadcastPkts
The total number of good packets received that
were directed to the broadcast address. Note that
this does not include multicast packets.
5
MulticastPkts
The total number of good packets received that
were directed to a multicast address. Note that
this number does not include packets directed to
the broadcast address.
6
CRCAlignErrors
The total number of packets received that had
lengths between 64 and 1518 octets inclusive
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS
octets) but had either a bad Frame Check
Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of
octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-
integral number of octets (Alignment Error).
7
UndersizePkts
The total number of packets received that were
less than 64 octets long (excluding framing bits,
but including FCS octets) and were otherwise
well formed.
8
OversizePkts
The total number of packets received that were
longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits,
but including FCS octets) and were otherwise
well formed.
9
Fragments
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 Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an
integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad
FCS with a non-integral number of octets
(Alignment Error).
