Statistics

For more information on using pie charts, graphs, and meters and understanding how to read the information displayed, see the Charts, Graphs, and Meters chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide.

A brief description of each of the variables available for both Ring and Station Pie Charts, Graphs, and Meters follows in the Ring and Station Variables sections.

Ring and Station Variables

Although many of the variables are the same for Ring and Station Statistics, it is important to note that these statistics are collected from different sources. The ring statistics will reﬂect the activity of the entire ring, while the station statistics will reﬂect the activity of only one station.

General

Errors

Indicates the total number of errors counted on the ring or received by the station.

Frames

Indicates the total number of frames received by the device from the ring or station.

KBytes

Indicates the total number of kilobytes transmitted on the ring or from the station.

Protocols

Protocols are only available for Ring Pie Charts and Meters. Use the following variables to display the number of packets counted on the ring of the following protocols:

SNA	IBM’s System Network Architecture.
XNS	A Xerox protocol used in early Ethernet networks.
TCP/IP	A public domain set of protocols developed by the US
	government.
Banyan	A proprietary protocol, VINES IP, used by Banyan’s
	VINES network operating system.
IPX	One of the standard protocols for Novell networking
	systems.
NetBIOS	Sytek, Inc., and IBM’s Network Basic Input Output
	System, used by many application programs for network
	communication.
