nlHostOutMacNonUnicastPkts
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::nlHostOutMacNonUnicastPkts

Description: The number of packets without errors transmitted by this address that were directed to any MAC broadcast addresses or to any MAC multicast addresses since this host was added to the nlHostTable. Note that this is the number of link-layer packets, so if a single network-layer packet is fragmented into several link-layer frames, this counter is incremented several times.
What is nlHostOutMacNonUnicastPkts?
This object holds a running count of broadcast and multicast packets sent by a host address. Engineers use this to detect hosts sending excessive broadcast traffic, which can waste bandwidth and impact network performance. High values here might indicate misconfigured applications flooding the network with broadcasts.
