Field Description
Octets The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets)
received on the network (excluding framing bits but including
FCS octets). You can use this object as a reasonable estimate of
Ethernet utilization. For greater precision, sample the etherStatsPkts
and etherStatsOctets objects before and after a common interval.
Pkts The total number of packets (including bad packets, broadcast
packets, and multicast packets) received.
BroadcastPkts The total number of good packets received that were directed to the
broadcast address. Note that this does not include multicast packets.
MulticastPkts The total number of good packets received that were directed to a
multicast address. Note that this number does not include packets
directed to the broadcast address.
CRCAlignErrors The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding
framing bits, but including FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets,
inclusive, but had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an
integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a nonintegral
number of octets (Alignment Error).
