Counter Wired Description
DropEvents Total number of events in which packets were dropped by the probe due to lack of
resources. This number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped; it is just the
number of times this condition has been detected.
Octets Total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) received on the network
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Pkts Total number of packets (including bad packets, broadcast packets, and multicast packets)
received.
Broadcasts Total number of good packets received that were directed to the broadcast address. This
does not include multicast packets.
Multicasts Total number of good packets received that were directed to a multicast address. This
number does not include packets directed to the broadcast address.
CRC Align
Errors
Total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits, but including
FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, 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).
Undersize
Pkts
Total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets long (excluding framing
bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed.
Oversize Pkts Total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing
bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed.
Fragments 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).
It is entirely normal for this counter to increment. This is because it counts both runts
(which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits.
Jabbers Total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (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).
Collisions Best estimate of the total number of collisions on this Ethernet segment.
Pkt 64 Octets Total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 64 octets in length
(excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Pkts 65 to 127
Octets
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).
