Multicast/Broadcast PPS Alerts

It would be nice to add fields in the table ports and save the necessary counters there, as it is done for the unicast packets.

I can’t find the ability to track and generate alerts on multicast / broadcast packets per second on ports. This could help predict and diagnose a storms/loops, and etc…

I think that info is in the ports_statistics table.

ports_statistics.ifInBroadcastPkts / ifOutBroadcastPkts
…and…
ports_statistics.ifInMulticastPkts / ifOutMulticastPkts

With deltas, rates, etc. along with some other cool stuff like unknowns and discards.
