What is ipTooShorts?
This counter tracks the cumulative number of IP packets discarded because their declared length field is invalid or too short for the data carried. Monitoring this helps detect packet corruption, fragmentation issues, or misconfigured endpoints. A spike from 100 to 1000 counts over hours suggests either network corruption or a broken device sending malformed packets.
