Description: The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer. This object is a 64-bit version of ifInBroadcastPkts.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
What is ifHCInBroadcastPkts?
This 64-bit counter tracks the total number of broadcast packets successfully delivered by the network interface to higher protocol layers. The 64-bit version allows monitoring of very high-speed links without counter overflow. An operator would examine this metric to understand broadcast traffic volume and detect unusual broadcast storms that could indicate network problems.
