Physical address
The MAC address used by this Ethernet interface, when it must be referred to, in a
unique fashion.
Unknown Protocol Packets
The number of packets received by the interface, which were discarded because of an
unknown or unsupported protocol.
In Octets
The total number of octets received on the interface, including the framing characters.
For Ethernet interface, this will have the lower 32 bits of HC in octets.
Out Octets
The total number of octets transmitted out the interface, including the framing
characters. For Ethernet interface, this will have the lower 32 bits of HC out octets.
In Discards
The number of inbound packets, which were discarded, though no errors were
detected.
Out Discards
The number of outbound packets chosen to be discarded even though there were no
errors.
In Errors
The number of inbound packets, which were not delivered to upper layers because of
errors.
Out Errors
The number of outbound packets to be discarded because there were errors.
In Unicast Packets
The number of unicast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.
Out Unicast Packets
The number of packets requested to be sent to unicast addresses, by upper layer
protocol.
In Multicast Packets
The number of multicast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.
Out Multicast Packets
The number of packets requested to be sent to multicast addresses, by upper layer
protocol.
In Broadcast Packets
The number of broadcast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.
Out Broadcast Packets
The number of packets requested to be sent to broadcast addresses, by upper layer
