sipmInBadPackets
Module: CTATX-MIB
OID (symbolic): CTATX-MIB::sipmInBadPackets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.20.4.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-write
Description: The number of bad packets received which may include unknown DVMRP/IGMP messages, short packets, and checksum errors.
What is sipmInBadPackets?
This counter counts bad multicast-related packets received, including unrecognized DVMRP/IGMP messages, undersized packets, and packets that failed a checksum check. A climbing value points to malformed or corrupted multicast control traffic reaching the router, which can indicate a misbehaving neighbor device or a cabling/interference problem. An admin troubleshooting flaky multicast video delivery might watch this counter and find it spikes whenever a particular upstream router sends malformed IGMP joins.
