Detailing not only the reason for a counter increase, but also acceptable ranges (like 1% of received segments may be late) and typical error sources (like broken hardware, wiring or some specific WAN configuration). Especially for those network MIB counters I always thought it might be good to monitor them more closely proactive, but thats a quite environment specific task. Commercial Unix or even BSD falvors tend to have at least more complete man pages for those (which is not always really helpfull but a good start for Joe average sysadmin).
