After you select a new display mode, the statistics (and graphs, where applicable) will refresh to reflect the current choice, as described below.

Raw Counts

The total count of network traffic received or transmitted on the indicated interface since device counters were last reset. Raw counts are provided for the following parameters:

In Octets

Octets received on the interface, including framing

 

characters.

In Packets

Packets (both unicast and non-unicast) received by the

 

device interface and delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

In Discards

Packets received by the device interface that were

 

discarded even though no errors prevented them from

 

being delivered to a higher layer protocol (e.g., to free up

 

buffer space in the device).

In Errors

Packets received by the device interface that contained

 

errors that prevented them from being delivered to a

 

higher-layer protocol.

In Unknown

Packets received by the device interface that were

 

discarded because of an unknown or unsupported

 

protocol.

Out Octets

Octets transmitted by the interface, including framing

 

characters.

Out Packets

Packets transmitted, at the request of a higher level

 

protocol, by the device interface to a subnetwork address

 

(both unicast and non-unicast).

Out Discards

Outbound packets that were discarded by the device

 

interface even though no errors were detected that

 

would prevent them from being transmitted. A possible

 

reason for discard would be to free up buffer space in the

 

device.

Out Errors

Outbound packets that could not be transmitted by the

 

device interface because they contained errors.

Load

The number of bytes processed by the indicated interface during the last poll interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load of the network to which the device is connected (100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet). Load is further defined by the following parameters:

In Octets

The number of bytes received by this interface, expressed

 

as a percentage of the theoretical maximum load.
