Description: The number of broadcast packets received by this PM instance.

What is cienaCesPmExtendedTxRxHist24HBinRxBcastPkts?

This counts broadcast frames received on this interface. Because ARP requests and similar discovery traffic are the normal source of broadcast, a RxBcastPkts count that stays roughly proportional to RxUcastPkts for this completed, frozen 24-hour historical bin on this port is healthy, while a disproportionate spike is the classic signature of a broadcast storm reaching this specific interface. For example, RxBcastPkts suddenly matching or exceeding RxUcastPkts for this completed 24-hour bin on this port would justify checking for a loop or a misbehaving host on the segment upstream of it.
