Definition
The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a
higher sublayer, that were addressed to a multicast
address at this sublayer. For a MAC layer protocol, this
number includes both Group and Functional
addresses.
The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a
higher (sub-)layer, that were addressed to a broadcast
address at this sublayer.
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of packets
received via the interface that were discarded
because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. For
character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces that
support protocol multiplexing, the number of
transmission units received via the interface that were
discarded because of an unknown or unsupported
protocol. For any interface that does not support
protocol multiplexing, this counter will always be 0.
The total number of octets transmitted out of the
interface, including framing characters.
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and that were addressed to
a multicast address at this sublayer, including those
that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer
protocol, this includes both Group and Functional
addresses.
The total number of packets that higher level protocols
requested to be transmitted, and that were addressed
to a broadcast address at this sub layer, including
those that were discarded or not sent.
The value of sysUpTime at the time the interface
entered its current operational state. If the current
state was entered prior to the last reinitialization of the
local network management subsystem, then this
object contains a zero value.
The total number of octets of data (including those in
bad packets) received on the network (excluding
framing bits but including FCS octets). This object can
be used as a reasonable estimate of Ethernet
utilization. For greater precision, sample the
etherStatsPkts and etherStatsOctets objects before
and after a common interval.
The total number of packets (including bad packets,
broadcast packets, and multicast packets) received.
