A table containing 64-bit versions of error counters from the dot3StatsTable. The 32-bit versions of these counters may roll over quite quickly on higher speed ethernet interfaces. The counters that have 64-bit versions in this table are the counters that apply to full-duplex interfaces, since 10 Gb/s and faster ethernet-like interfaces do not support half-duplex, and very few 1000 Mb/s ethernet-like interfaces support half-duplex.

Entries in this table are recommended for interfaces capable of operating at 1000 Mb/s or faster, and are required for interfaces capable of operating at 10 Gb/s or faster. Lower speed ethernet-like interfaces do not need entries in this table, in which case there may be fewer entries in this table than in the dot3StatsTable. However, implementations containing interfaces with a mix of speeds may choose to implement entries in this table for

all ethernet-like interfaces.
