Transmit Multicast Packets The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and which were addressed to a
multicast address at this sub-layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
Transmit Broadcast
Packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and which were addressed to a
broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
Transmit Discarded
Packets
The number of outbound packets which 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.
Transmit Errors The number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
Etherlike Statistics
Alignment Errors The number of alignment errors (missynchronized data
packets).
Late Collisions The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512
bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
FCS Errors A count of frames received on a particular interface that are
an integral number of octets in length but do not pass the FCS
check. This count does not include frames received with
frame-too-long or frame-too-short error.
Excessive Collisions A count of frames for which transmission on a particular
interface fails due to excessive collisions. This counter does
not increment when the interface is operating in full-duplex
mode.
Single Collision Frames The number of successfully transmitted frames for which
transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.
Internal MAC Transmit
Errors
A count of frames for which transmission on a particular
interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error.
Multiple Collision Frames A count of successfully transmitted frames for which
transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.
