This field reports the number of broadcast packets received by this PM instance, exposed here as cienaCesPmExtendedTxRxAllTimeBinRxBcastPkts. On this Ciena CES port's PM data, broadcast traffic (ARP floods, DHCP discovers, and the like) hits every device on the segment, so this is the counter to watch for early signs of a broadcast storm or a misbehaving device flooding this particular port; and this 'all-time' counter for the extended Tx/Rx PM group has no fixed rollover schedule of its own — it just keeps accumulating from whenever the PM instance was last cleared, so a single reading only tells you the running total, not a rate. For example, a moderately busy port showing 596,000,000 broadcast frames for this bin would be a plausible, unremarkable reading.
