What is sifTxStorms?

This read-only Counter reports the number of packets not sent from this port due to multicast storm protection. An administrator watches it to see how often the sifTxStormCnt and sifTxStormTime rate limit is actually being triggered and dropping frames. For example, the admin sees sifTxStorms incrementing steadily on a port and concludes the configured sifTxStormCnt threshold is being hit regularly, possibly warranting adjustment.
