3-10 FDDI Performance Window

FDDI Performance Window
The FDDI Performance window, Figure 3-5, provides graphical and numeric
performance statistics for the FDDI BRIM, including transmit frames, receive
frames, frame errors, lost frames, and ring ops.
Figure 3-5. The FDDI Performance Window
The FDDI Performance window displays performance data in three formats:
¥Count the number detected of each performance type for the selected interval.
¥RateÑ# per second the number of each performance type per second, as
averaged over the selected interval.
¥GraphicallyÑ0% - 50% - 100% the percentage of each performance type with
respect to the total network load processed by the FDDI BRIM during the last
interval (e.g., a transmit frames rate of 75% during a delta interval indicates
that of all frames processed by the selected interface, 75% were transmitted by
that interface).
The FDDI Performance window displays performance data in the following
Þelds:
Transmit Frames
The number of frames transmitted by the FDDI BRIMÕs MAC during the selected
interval.
Receive Frames
The number of frames received by the FDDI BRIMÕs MAC during the selected
interval.
