CRC Errors
Description
The number of inbound packets which were
chosen to be discarded even though no errors had
been detected to prevent their being deliverable
to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason
for discarding such a packet could be to free up
buffer space.
The number of inbound packets that contained
errors preventing them from being deliverable to
a higher-layer protocol.
The number of alignment errors
(missynchronized data packets).
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 to a
subnetwork-unicast address, including those that
were discarded or not sent.
The total number of packets that higher-level
protocols requested be transmitted to a non-
unicast (that is, a subnetwork-broadcast or
subnetwork-multicast) address, including those
that were discarded or not sent.
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.
The number of outbound packets that could not
be transmitted because of errors.
Number of Ethernet Cyclic Redundancy Check
errors detected by this device.
