I am wondering if the dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors counter includes VLAN mismatches, i.e. Discards due to VLAN mismatch. http://oid-info.com/get/1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.16 only explicitly lists `dot3StatsAlignmentErrors` and `dot3StatsFCSErrors` as alternatives... this is for a chip from `Broadcom`. Any input is appreciated!

update from https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/59208/does-the-dot3statsinternalmacreceiveerrors-counter-include-vlan-mismatches:

dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors refers to framing errors only - as stated, misalignment, FCS errors, giants, runts. A VLAN mismatch is not an error on the MAC level in that respect.

Nitpicking, VLAN tags belong to 802.1 while the general framing belongs to 802.3.
