Description:
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, and which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
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 ifOutUcastPkts?
This counter tracks the total number of unicast packets successfully transmitted by an interface that were not dropped or discarded. It counts all outgoing unicast traffic passing through the interface, excluding multicast and broadcast frames. A network analyst would monitor this metric to measure interface throughput and detect changes in normal traffic patterns or identify interfaces with abnormally high output rates.
