Statistics

Fragments

Indicates the number of packets processed by the

 

network segment that were undersized (less than 64

 

bytes in length; a runt packet) and had either a

 

non-integral number of bytes (alignment error) or a bad

 

frame check sequence (CRC error).

Jabbers

Indicates the number of packets processed by the

 

network segment that were oversized (greater than 1518

 

bytes; a giant packet) and had either a non-integral

 

number of bytes (alignment error) or a bad frame check

 

sequence (CRC error).

Collisions

Indicates the total number of receive (those the device

 

detects while receiving a transmission) and transmit

 

(those the device detects while transmitting) collisions

 

detected on the network segment.

Undersized

Indicates the number of packets processed by the

 

network segment that contained fewer than 64 bytes

 

(runt packets) but were otherwise well-formed.

Oversized

Indicates the number of packets processed by the

 

network segment that contained more than 1518 bytes

 

(giant packets) but were otherwise well-formed.

In their default state, the percentages displayed to the right of the numerical values for these Þelds indicate what percentage of total packets transmitted on the network segment were of the noted type. If you select the % of Tot. Errors option by clicking the mouse button in the check box, the percentages will indicate what percentage of problem, or error, packets transmitted on the network segment were of the noted type; these percentages will add up to 100. (The % of Tot. Errors option is active if there is a check mark in the check box.) The pie chart in the center of the window provides a graphical view of the selected percentage breakdown; colors in the pie chart correspond to colors in the percentage display boxes. Values listed to the right of the pie chart indicate peak delta values recorded since the statistics screen was launched, and the date and time they occurred.

Frame Size (Bytes) Packets

The Frame Size (Bytes) Packets Þelds indicate the number of packets (including error packets) processed by the network segment that were of the noted length, excluding framing bits but including frame check sequence bits. Packet sizes counted are:

The company was known for its innovative approach to network architecture and its commitment to delivering reliable products that enabled seamless connectivity in various environments.

One of the primary features of Cabletron Systems in 2000 was its advanced networking technologies, including Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions. The company specialized in developing multi-layer switches that could efficiently manage traffic and deliver high-speed data transfer. Their products were particularly popular in enterprise settings, where network performance and reliability were paramount.

Cabletron's solutions included a range of products, from Ethernet switches to routers, which were designed with scalability and flexibility in mind. This allowed businesses to adapt their networks to accommodate growth, without the need for a complete overhaul of their infrastructure. The company’s Integrated Networking Architecture (INA) was a significant innovation during this period, enabling efficient communication and management of diverse network resources.

Another major characteristic of Cabletron Systems was its commitment to interoperability. The company’s products were designed to be compatible with several industry standards, ensuring that organizations could easily integrate Cabletron solutions into their existing networks. This focus on compatibility helped to foster collaboration among different devices and systems, further enhancing network efficiency.

Security was also a key feature of Cabletron’s offerings in 2000. With growing concerns about data breaches and unauthorized access, the company incorporated advanced security measures into its products. These features included robust authentication protocols, encryption options, and secure management interfaces, which helped safeguard sensitive data during transmission.

Customer support and service were paramount to Cabletron Systems' business model. The company provided extensive resources, including training and technical support, to ensure that customers could maximize the potential of their networking solutions. This dedication to customer satisfaction contributed significantly to Cabletron’s reputation in the marketplace.

In summary, Cabletron Systems in 2000 emerged as a frontrunner in the networking industry, characterized by its innovative technologies, commitment to interoperability, emphasis on security, and strong customer support.
