Setter method for out_multicast_pkts, mapped from YANG variable /interfaces/interface/state/counters/out_multicast_pkts (yang:counter64)
    If this variable is read-only (config: false) in the
    source YANG file, then _set_out_multicast_pkts is considered as a private
    method. Backends looking to populate this variable should
    do so via calling thisObj._set_out_multicast_pkts() directly.

    YANG Description: [adapted from IETF interfaces model (RFC 7223)]
Changed the counter type to counter64.

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted, and that were addressed to a
multicast address at this sub-layer, including those
that were discarded or not sent.  For a MAC-layer
protocol, this includes both Group and Functional
addresses.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur
at re-initialization of the management system, and at
other times as indicated by the value of
'discontinuity-time'.
