Packets Received 128-255
Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were
between 128 and 255 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits but
including FCS octets).
Packets Received 256-511
Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were
between 256 and 511 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits but
including FCS octets).
Packets Received 512-1023
Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were
between 512 and 1023 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits but
including FCS octets).
Packets Received 1024-1518
Octets
The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were
between 1024 and 1518 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits but
including FCS octets).
Packets Received > 1518
Octets
The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well
formed.
Total Packets Received
Without Errors
The total number of packets received that were without errors.
Unicast Packets Received The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer
protocol.
Multicast Packets Received The total number of good packets received that were directed to a multicast
address. Note that this number does not include packets directed to the
broadcast address.
Broadcast Packets Received The total number of good packets received that were directed to the
broadcast address. Note that this does not include multicast packets.
Total Packets Received with
MAC Errors
The total number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Jabbers Received The 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).
Note that this definition of jabber is different than the definition in IEEE-802.3
section 8.2.1.5 (10BASE5) and section 10.3.1.4 (10BASE2). These
documents define jabber as the condition where any packet exceeds 20 ms.
The allowed range to detect jabber is between 20 ms and 150 ms.
Fragments Received The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length
with ERROR CRC (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Undersize Received The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length
with GOOD CRC (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).
Alignment Errors The 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 a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with a non-integral number of
octets.
