The TCP/IP Summary section of the System Report includes summary data at the TCP/IP interface level (line type and line description name).
The summary includes information such as packets sent and received. This information is useful when investigating the reason for transmission errors. The values in the unicast and non-unicast columns provide an indication as to where the problem resides. The problem can be related to transmissions sent to specific users (unicast) or in transmissions sent to many users (broadcast or multicast, which are instances of non-unicast transmissions).
