Usage Guidelines

IP traffic statistics include statistics about received packets (including discarded packets that carry source-route options), sent packets, fragmented packets, and reassembled packets. If a large number of bad protocol and no route fields is displayed in the command output, the device receives a large volume of IP packets of unknown protocol types and IP packets for which no routes can be found. In this situation, the device may be attacked by the connected devices.

Example

bad checksum	Number of packets with checksum errors.
bad options	Number of packets with incorrect options.
discard srr	Number of discarded packets with source route options.
discard rr	Indicates the number of packets that are received and then discarded because of record-route options.
discard ra	Indicates the number of packets that are received and then discarded because of alert-route options.
discard ts	Indicates the number of packets that are received and then discarded because of time stamps options.
TTL exceeded	Number of packets discarded because the TTL expires.
Output	Sent packets.
forwarding	Number of forwarded packets.
local	Number of generated packets.
dropped	Number of discarded packets.
no route	Number of packets for which no correct route can be found, including the packets sent and forwarded by the local device.
