In the MIB-2 interfaces group, the object ifInUcastPkts is defined as: "The number of subnetwork-unicast packets deliverd to a higher layer protocol". We have a bridge product that has interfaces at the MAC level. My question is to do with interpretation of the phrase "...deliverd to a higher layer protocol". Should the unicast packets which are received on one interface and bridged to another interface be counted by this object? Since these packets aren't really "delivered to a higher layer protocol" in my box, I would think not. I would like to know how others have interpreted this object. Jas Parmar Synernetics, Inc.
