What is etherStatsUndersizePkts?

This OID counts valid network packets that are smaller than the minimum 64-byte size and were received successfully. Undersized packets usually indicate configuration mismatches or malformed transmissions. An operator monitors this to diagnose communication problems or identify devices sending non-standard packets.
