What is ifHCOutBroadcastPkts?
Reports the total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted as broadcast, including any discarded or never-sent ones, as a 64-bit counter, the high-capacity version of ifOutBroadcastPkts. Admins watch this on busy interfaces to detect excessive broadcast traffic, which can indicate a broadcast storm or misbehaving device on the segment. A sudden sustained spike in this counter's growth rate would prompt the admin to investigate a possible broadcast storm on that interface.
