Received Errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol.
Transmit Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface,
including framing characters.
Transmit Unicast Packets The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address,
including those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Multicast Packets 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.
Transmit Broadcast
Packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and which were addressed to a
broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent.
Transmit Discarded
Packets
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.
Transmit Errors The number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
Etherlike Statistics
Alignment Errors The number of alignment errors (missynchronized data
packets).
Late Collisions The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512
bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
FCS Errors A count of frames received on a particular interface that are
an integral number of octets in length but do not pass the FCS
check. This count does not include frames received with
frame-too-long or frame-too-short error.
