Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/collisions
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of collisions seen by this network device.
This value might not be relevant with all MAC layers.
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/multicast
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of multicast packets received by this
network device.
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/rx_bytes
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of bytes received by this network device.
See the network driver for the exact meaning of when this
value is incremented.
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/rx_compressed
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of compressed packets received by this
network device. This value might only be relevant for interfaces
that support packet compression (e.g: PPP).
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/rx_crc_errors
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of packets received with a CRC (FCS) error
by this network device. Note that the specific meaning might
depend on the MAC layer used by the interface.
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/rx_dropped
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of packets received by the network device
but dropped, that are not forwarded to the upper layers for
packet processing. See the network driver for the exact
meaning of this value.
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/rx_errors
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of receive errors on this network device.
See the network driver for the exact meaning of this value.
What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/statistics/rx_fifo_errors
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Indicates the number of receive FIFO errors seen by this
network device. See the network driver for the exact
meaning of this value.Annotation

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
