Figure 9-4. IP Statistics
The IP Statistics page contains the following fields:
• IpInReceives — The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those
received in error.
• IpInHdrErrors — The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers,
including bad checksums, version number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, errors
discovered in processing their IP options, etc.
• IpInAddrErrors — The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP
header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity. This count includes
invalid addresses (for example, 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported Classes (for example, Class E).
For entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do not forward datagrams, this counter includes
datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address.
• IpForwDatagrams — The number of input datagrams for which this entity was not their final IP
destination, as a result of which an attempt was made to find a route to forward them to that final
destination. In entities which do not act as IP Gateways, this counter includes only those packets
which were Source-Routed through this entity, and the Source-Route option processing was successful.
• IpInUnknownProtos — The number of locally-addressed datagrams received successfully but
discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
