This field is the single highest per-interval delta value on the live, currently-updating stats object for CRC (cyclic redundancy check) errors — frames whose checksum did not match their contents, meaning the frame was corrupted somewhere on the wire — the worst burst seen across the retained collection history. This is the number to check after an alert fires, since it shows the worst single interval for crc on this interface even if the current live value has already settled back down. For example, a recorded max of 32 CRC errors in one interval would flag the worst burst the interface has seen, useful for correlating against a specific outage window.
