Enterasys Networks IRM2 manual Raw Counts, Load

The IRM2 Chassis View

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 for that interface type (10 Mbps for standard 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.
