Received Unknown
Packets The number of packets received via the interface
which 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.
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.
