mediaIndependentDroppedFrames

Module: HC-RMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): HC-RMON-MIB::mediaIndependentDroppedFrames

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.21.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of frames which were received by the probe and therefore not accounted for in the mediaIndependentDropEvents, but for which the probe chose not to count for this entry for whatever reason. Most often, this event occurs when the probe is out of some resources and decides to shed load from this collection.

This count does not include packets that were not counted because they had MAC-layer errors.

Note that, unlike the dropEvents counter, this number is the exact number of frames dropped.
