received by the processor.
Unicast Packets Received The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher layer protocol.
Multicast Packets Received The total number of packets received that were directed to a multicast address. 
This number does not include packets directed to the broadcast address.

address. This does not include multicast packets.
Receive Packets Discarded The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded, even

up buffer space.

characters.
