This read-only Counter64 records the number of CRC error packets transmitted on a port during this bin's period, per its description, an unusual condition since it implies the local device transmitted a frame that was already corrupted before it left the port, typically caused by an internal hardware or backplane fault rather than the outbound link itself. Because normal devices don't intentionally send corrupted frames, a nonzero value here during a specific bin is a strong indicator of a local hardware problem on that port or line card, distinct from the far more common receive-side CRC error counter. An engineer seeing this counter increment, unlike its Rx counterpart, would escalate straight to hardware diagnostics on the transmitting line card rather than suspecting the fiber or the remote device.
