Parameter Description
Interface Statistics
Received Octets The total number of octets received on the interface,
including framing characters.
Received Unicast
Packets
The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to
a higher-layer protocol.
Received Multicast
Packets
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a
higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a multicast
address at this sub-layer.
Received Broadcast
Packets
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a
higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a broadcast
address at this sub-layer.
Received Discarded
Packets
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to

to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer

were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
protocol.
Received Errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol.
Transmit Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of the
interface, including framing characters.
Transmit Unicast
Packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast
address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
