ifHCInMulticastPkts
Module: IF-MIB
OID (symbolic): IF-MIB::ifHCInMulticastPkts
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description:
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer, which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses. This object is a 64-bit version of ifInMulticastPkts.
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 ifHCInMulticastPkts?
This 64-bit counter tracks the total number of packets delivered by a network interface to higher-layer protocols that were addressed to a multicast MAC address (Group or Functional address in a bridging context). It is the high-capacity version of the 32-bit ifInMulticastPkts counter designed for high-speed interfaces. An operator monitors this to understand multicast traffic volume and verify proper multicast forwarding on network segments.
