Statistics Description
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 which 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.
