val. Note that this number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped, it is just the number of times this condition has been detected. ♦ Octets The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets). ♦ Packets The number of packets (including bad packets) received during this sampling interval. ♦ Broadcast The number of good packets received during this sampling interval that were directed to the broadcast address. ♦ Multicast The number of good packets received during this sampling interval that were directed to a multicast address. Note that this number does not include packets addressed to the broadcast address. ♦ CRC Align The number of packets received during this sampling interval that had a length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets) 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 non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error). ♦ Undersize The number of packets received during this sampling interval that were less than 64 octets long (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed. ♦ Oversize The number of packets received during this sampling interval that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets) but were otherwise well formed. ♦ Fragment The total number of packets received during this sampling interval that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets) 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). Note that it is entirely normal for History Fragments to increment. This is because it counts both runts (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits.

val.
Note that this number is not necessarily the number of packets
dropped, it is just the number of times this condition has been detected.
Octets
The total number of octets of data (including those in bad pack-
ets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS
octets).
Packets
The number of packets (including bad packets) received dur-
ing this sampling interval.
Broadcast
The number of good packets received during this sampling
interval that were directed to the broadcast address.
Multicast
The number of good packets received during this sampling
interval that were directed to a multicast address.
Note that this number
does not include packets addressed to the broadcast address.
CRC Align
The number of packets received during this sampling in-
terval that had a length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets)
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 non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).
Undersize
The number of packets received during this sampling inter-
val that were less than 64 octets long (excluding framing bits but
including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed.
Oversize
The number of packets received during this sampling interval
that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits but including
FCS octets) but were otherwise well formed.
Fragment
The total number of packets received during this sampling
interval that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits
but including FCS octets) had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS)
with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-
integral number of octets (Alignment Error).
Note that it is entirely nor-
mal for History Fragments to increment.
This is because it counts both
runts (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits.
