ifInErrors 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.

ifOutOctets The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including

framing characters.

ifOutUcastPkts 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.

ifOutBroadcastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be

transmitted, and which were addressed to a broadcast address at this

sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. This object

is a 64-bit version of ifOutBroadcastPkts.

ifOutMulticastPkts 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.

ifOutFlowControlPkts The total number of flow control pause packets transmitted out of the

interface.

ifOutDiscards 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.

ifOutErrors 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.
