ifHCOut Counters
UcastPkts
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.
ifHCOut Counters
BroadcastPkts
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.
ifHCOut Counters
MulticastPkts
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.
ifHCOut Counters
Discards
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.
ifHCOut Counters
Errors
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.
