Statistics Description
Octets—IfHCIn The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
UcastPkts—IfHCIn The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer, which
were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer.
BroadcastPkts—IfHCIn The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer, which
were addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer.
MulticastPkts—IfHCIn The total number of packets, delivered by this sublayer. These are the 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.
Discards—IfHCIn The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though
no errors were detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer
protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up
buffer space.
Errors—IfHCIn For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained
errors preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound
transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to
a higher-layer protocol.
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 that 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.
