Errors Input/
Output
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that 
contained errors preventing them from being deliverable 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.
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that 
could not be transmitted because of errors. For character-oriented or 
fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units 
that could not be transmitted because of errors.
Unicast Packets 
Input/Output
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. 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 dis-
carded or not sent.
Multicast Pack-
ets Input/Output
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. 
For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both Group and Functional 
addresses. The total number of packets that higher-level protocols 
requested 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 Func-
tional addresses.
Broadcast Pack-
ets Input/Output
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-) 
layer, which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer. 
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested 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.
Discards Input/
Output
The number of inbound packets chosen to be discarded to possibly 
free up buffer space.
Unknown Proto 
Discards Input/
Output
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of packets received 
through the interface which were discarded because of an unknown or 
unsupported protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length inter-
faces that support protocol multiplexing the number of transmission 
units received via the interface which were discarded because of an 
unknown or unsupported protocol. For any interface that does not 
support protocol multiplexing, this counter will always be 0. For 
ATM, this field displays cells discarded on an invalid vpi/vci. 
Unknown proto discards do not show up in the packet counts.
