Name (Read-only)
The Name field displays the type of interface for which statistics are
being displayed.

The InUnicast field displays the total number of packets that have been
received that were sent to a single address.

that were delivered to a broadcast or multicast address.
InDiscards (Read-only)

discarded because they contained errors. This field represents the total
number of errored frames, regardless of the cause of the error.

format.
