Load Balance/Virtual LAN Statistics

The Statistics screen allows you view traffic statistics. Statistical values and coverage is more comprehensive for some NICs than for others.

General

Interface components of the Statistics/General window are described below:

■Frames Tx OK—Count of frames that are successfully transmitted. This counter is incremented when the TransmitStatus is reported as transmitOK.

■Frame Rx OK—Count of frames that are successfully received (receiveOK). This does not include frames received with frame-too-long, FCS, length or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer error. This counter is incremented when the ReceiveStatus is reported as receiveOK.

■Directed Frames Tx—Count of directed data frames that are successfully transmitted.

■Multicast Frames Tx—Count of frames that are successfully transmitted, as indicated by the status value transmitOK, to a group destination address other than broadcast.

■Broadcast Frames Tx—Count of the frames that were successfully transmitted as indicated by the TransmitStatus transmitOK, to the broadcast address. Frames transmitted to multicast addresses are not broadcast frames and are excluded.

■Directed Frames Rx—Count of directed data frames that are successfully received.

■Multicast Frames Rx—Count of frames that are successfully received and are directed to an active nonbroadcast group address. This does not include frames received with frame-too-long, FCS, length or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer error. This counter is incremented as indicated by the receiveOK status, and the value in the Destination field.
