Rcvd:	Description of the packets received.
total	Total number of packets received.
format errors	Number of bad packets discarded (for example, packets with a corrupted header). Includes IPX packets received in an encapsulation that this interface is not configured for.
checksum errors	Number of packets containing a checksum error. This number should always be 0, because IPX rarely uses a checksum.
bad hop count	Number of packets discarded because their hop count exceeded 16.
packets pitched	Number of times the device received its own broadcast packet.
local destination	Number of packets sent to the local broadcast address or specifically to the router.
multicast	Number of packets received that were addressed to an IPX multicast address.
Bcast:	Description of broadcast packets the router received and sent.
received	Number of broadcast packets received.
sent	Number of broadcast packets sent, including those the router is either forwarding or has generated.
Sent:	Description of packets the software generated and sent and those the software received and routed to other destinations.
generated	Number of packets sent that the router generated itself.
forwarded	Number of packets sent that the router forwarded from other sources.
encapsulation failed	Number of packets the software was unable to encapsulate.
no route	Number of times the software could not locate a route to the destination in the routing table.
