Question: query for Interface MIB "ifInNUcastPkts "

Hi, All
Now I want to test interface MIB(according to RFC1213), and found that
ifInNUcastPkts doesn't exist in Linux kernel. The kernel maintain a
structure "net_device_stats", but it just contain a member named "multicast"
to show how many multicast packets are received, but no member to show how
many broadcast packets are received. Also, I think ifInNUcastPkts should
equal to broadcast + multicast. Or there is some other statistic value to
show "ifInNUcastPkts"?
RFC1213
INTERNET CONTROL MESSAGE PROTOCOL
ifInNUcastPkts OBJECT-TYP
SYNTAX Counter
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The number of non-unicast (i.e., subnetwork-
broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets
delivered to a higher-layer protocol."
::= { ifEntry 12 }
Any help is grateful and thanks in advance.
Regards
Wei Dong
