Interface Statistics of a Port (continued)
Description
received on the interface.
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to
be discarded even though no errors had been detected to
prevent their being delivered to a higher‐layer protocol.
One possible reason for discarding such a packet could
be to free up buffer space.
For packet‐oriented interfaces, the number of inbound
packets that contained errors preventing them from
being delivered 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.
The total number of octets transmitted out of the
interface, including framing characters.
The total number of packets that higher‐level protocols
requested to 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 total number of packets that higher‐level protocols
requested to be transmitted, and which were addressed
toa broadcast address at this sub‐layer, including those
that were discarded or not sent. This object is a 64‐bit
version of ifOutBroadcastPkts.
The total number of packets that higher‐level protocols
requested to be transmitted, and which were addressed
to a multicast address at this sub‐layer, including those
that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer
protocol, this includes both Group and Functional
addresses. This object is a 64‐bit version of
ifOutMulticastPkts.
The total number of flow control pause packets
transmitted out of the interface.
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.
