HI guys,
What do each of these mean (broadcasts, runts giants, throttles, input errors, CRC, frame, overrun, ignored, abort, output error, collisions, babbles, deferred, lost carrier, etc)? Is there a website that talks about these? I know some of them but others look foreign
5 minute output rate 104 bits/sec, 0packets/sec
0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer
Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants,0 throttles
0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun,0 ignored, 0 abort
0 input packets with dribble conditiondetected
65 packets output, 3900 bytes, 0 underruns
0 output errors, 0 collisions, 1 interfaceresets
0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier
0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffersswapped out

A quote from the Cisco docs--runts - Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the medium’s minimum packet size. For instance, any Ethernet packet that is less than 64 bytes is considered a runt.
If you want a more detailed explanation--i.e., why does Ethernet have a minimum frame size, why is it 64 bytes, and what might cause runts to occur--consult a book on Ethernet. A good option is O'Reily's book... it's the octopus book if I recall correctly. Also, any book on networking theory such as the ones by Perlman or Tannenbaum would cover this.
