What is reportsL2IfaceStatsMulticastPkts?

This counter tracks the total number of valid packets received on a switch interface that were addressed to a multicast destination, excluding broadcast traffic. It provides visibility into multicast traffic levels on the port without conflating broadcast and multicast flows. An operator monitoring network traffic would use this to analyze multicast usage patterns or troubleshoot group-based data delivery.
