Indicates the number of received error packet with a length
error, oversized or undersized. See the network driver for the
exact meaning of this value.

Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of received packets that have been missed
due to lack of capacity in the receive side. See the network
driver for the exact meaning of this value.
What: /sys/class/<iface>/statistics/rx_over_errors
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of received packets that are oversized
compared to what the network device is configured to accept
(e.g: larger than MTU). See the network driver for the exact
meaning of this value.
What: /sys/class/<iface>/statistics/rx_packets
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the total number of good packets received by this
network device.
What: /sys/class/<iface>/statistics/tx_aborted_errors
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of packets that have been aborted
during transmission by a network device (e.g: because of
a medium collision). See the network driver for the exact
meaning of this value.
What: /sys/class/<iface>/statistics/tx_bytes
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of bytes transmitted by a network
device. See the network driver for the exact meaning of this
value, in particular whether this accounts for all successfully
transmitted packets or all packets that have been queued for
transmission.
What: /sys/class/<iface>/statistics/tx_carrier_errors
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of packets that could not be transmitted
because of carrier errors (e.g: physical link down). See the
network driver for the exact meaning of this value.
What: /sys/class/<iface>/statistics/tx_compressed
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of transmitted compressed packets. Note
this might only be relevant for devices that support
compression (e.g: PPP).
What: /sys/class/<iface>/statistics/tx_dropped
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of packets dropped during transmission.
