Input Packets Dropped Displays the number of received packets dropped at the interface
by the input Queue of the hardware unit /software module
associated with the interface. Packets are dropped when the input
Queue of the interface is full or unable to handle incoming traffic.
Input Packets Error Displays the number of received packets with errors at the
interface. Input Packet Errors are input errors occurring due to; no
buffer space/ignored packets due to broadcast storms, packets
larger than maximum packet size, framing errors, input rate
exceeding the receiver's date handling rate or cyclic redundancy
check errors. In all these cases, an error is reported.

Output Total Packets Displays the total number of packets transmitted from the
interface.
Output Packets
Dropped
Displays the number of transmitted packets dropped at the
interface. Output Packets Dropped are the packets dropped when
the output queue of the physical device associated with interface
is saturated.
Output Packets Error Displays the number of transmitted packets with errors at the
interface. Output Packet Errors are the sum of all the output packet
errors, malformed packets and misaligned packets received on an
interface.
