What is cvTotalUnknownPackets?
This counter tracks received packets the router couldn't classify as any recognized VINES packet type. An admin cares because these represent traffic the router can't interpret at all, which could signal protocol corruption or an unsupported VINES variant on the wire. For example, a sudden rise coinciding with a new device joining the VINES network would suggest that device is sending a packet type this router doesn't recognize.
