What is rxMulticastPkts?

This Counter32 object counts good packets received by a port that were addressed to a multicast address, excluding errored multicasts and broadcast traffic. An admin troubleshooting excessive multicast load, such as from a misconfigured streaming or discovery protocol, monitors this counter per port to find the source. For example, an unusually high rate of increase in this counter on one access port would suggest that connected device is generating excessive multicast traffic, worth investigating.
