This counter tallies unicast packets received across all ports in a group that contained errors, meaning point-to-point traffic that arrived corrupted. An admin would watch this counter to detect whether errors are concentrated in ordinary host-to-host traffic rather than in broadcast or multicast frames on that group. A steady rise in gspPhysicalErr on group 1 while other packet-type error counters stay low would point specifically at a unicast link's cabling.
