Here's an excerpt from the RFC 1213 MIB with the descriptions for
ifOutUcastPkts and ifOutNUcastPkts... The same descriptions work for
ifInUcastPkts and ifInNUcastPkts as well. Your assumption that the total
packets out is thesum of ifOutUcastPkts and ifOutNUcastPkts is correct.
ifOutUcastPkts OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The total number of packets that higher-level
protocols requested be transmitted to a
subnetwork-unicast address, including those that
were discarded or not sent."
::= { ifEntry 17 }
ifOutNUcastPkts OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The total number of packets that higher-level
protocols requested be transmitted to a non-
unicast (i.e., a subnetwork-broadcast or
subnetwork-multicast) address, including those
that were discarded or not sent."
::= { ifEntry 18 }
