Discontinuity Time – The time on the most recent occasion at which any one or more of
•
this interface's counters suffered a discontinuity or interruption of service.
In Octets – The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
•
characters.
In Unicast Pkts – 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.
In Multicast Pkts – 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.
In Discards – The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discard 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.
In Errors – For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained
•
errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Out Octets – The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including
•
framing characters.
Out Unicast Pkts – 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.
Out Discards – The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even
•
though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted.
Out Errors – For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could
•
not be transmitted because of errors.
