General Statistics
Definitions of the general statistics parameters are provided below.
Frames Tx OK. A count of frames that are successfully transmitted. This counter is incremented when the transmit status is reported as Transmit OK.
Frames Rx OK. A count of frames that are successfully received
(Receive OK). This does not include frames received with
Directed Frames Tx. A count of directed data frames that are successfully transmitted.
Multicast Frames Tx. A count of frames that are successfully transmitted (as indicated by the status value Transmit OK) to a group destination address other than a broadcast address.
Broadcast Frames Tx. A count of frames that were successfully transmitted (as indicated by the transmit status Transmit OK) to the broadcast address. Frames transmitted to multicast addresses are not broadcast frames and, therefore, are excluded.
Directed Frames Rx. A count of directed data frames that are successfully received.
Multicast Frames Rx. A count of frames that are successfully received and are directed to an active nonbroadcast group address. This does not include frames received with
Broadcast Frames Rx. A count of frames that are successfully received and are directed to a broadcast group address. This count does not include frames received with
IEEE 802.3 Statistics
Definitions of the IEEE 802.3 statistics parameters are provided below.
Frames Rx with Alignment Error. A count of frames that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the FCS check. This counter is incremented when the receive status is reported as Alignment Error.
Frames Tx with one Collision. A count of frames that are involved in a single collision and are subsequently transmitted successfully. This
