Description
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)
layer, which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at
this sub-layer. The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and which were not addressed to a multicast
or broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that
contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-
layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the
number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing
them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that
could not be transmitted because of errors. For character-oriented or
fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units that
could not be transmitted because of errors.
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)
layer, which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at
this sub-layer. The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and which were not addressed to a multicast
or broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)
layer, which were not addressed to a unicast or broadcast address at this
sub-layer. The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and which were not addressed to a unicast or
broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were discarded
or not sent.
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)
layer, which were not addressed to a unicast or multicast address at this
sub-layer. The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and which were not addressed to a unicast or
multicast address at this sub-layer, including those that were discarded
or not sent.
The number of inbound packets chosen to be discarded to possibly free
up buffer space
