Table 16 show interfaces cable-modem Field Descriptions (continued)
Field | Description |
Last input/output | Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully |
| received/transmitted by the interface. |
|
|
output hang | Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the interface was last reset because |
| of a transmission that took too long. When the number of hours in any of the |
| “Last..” fields exceeds 24, the number of days and hours is displayed. If the field |
| overflows, asterisks are printed. |
|
|
Last clearing of “show interface” | Time at which the counters that measure cumulative statistics (such as number of |
counters | bytes transmitted and received) shown in this report were last reset to zero. Note |
| that variables that might affect routing (for example, load and reliability) are not |
| cleared when the counters are cleared. |
| *** indicates the elapsed time is too large to be displayed. |
| 0:00:00 indicates the counters were cleared more than 231 milliseconds (and less |
| than 232 milliseconds) ago. |
Queueing strategy | Type of queueing strategy in effect on the interface. |
|
|
Output queue/drops | Number of packets in the output queue followed by the size of the queue and the |
| number of packets dropped due to a full queue. |
|
|
input queue/drops | Number of packets in the input queue followed by the size of the queue and the |
| number of packets dropped due to a full queue. |
|
|
5 minute input rate | Average number of bits and packets received and transmitted per second in the |
5 minute output rate | last 5 minutes. If the interface is not in promiscuous mode, it senses network |
| traffic it sends and receives (rather than all network traffic). |
| The |
| traffic per second during a given |
| weighted averages with a time constant of 5 minutes. A period of four time |
| constants must pass before the average will be within two percent of the |
| instantaneous rate of a uniform stream of traffic over that period. |
|
|
packets input | Total number of |
|
|
bytes input | Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the |
| packets received by the system. |
|
|
no buffer | Number of received packets discarded because there was no buffer space in the |
| main system. Compare with ignored count. Broadcast storms on Ethernet |
| networks and bursts of noise on serial lines are often responsible for no input |
| buffer events. |
|
|
Received broadcasts | Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface. |
|
|
runts | Number of packets discarded because they were smaller than the medium’s |
| minimum packet size. For example, any Ethernet packet less than 64 bytes is |
| considered a runt. |
|
|
giants | Number of packets discarded because they were larger than the medium’s |
| maximum packet size. For example, any Ethernet packet larger than 1518 bytes |
| is considered a giant. |
|
|
throttles | Number of times the receiver on the port was disabled, possibly due to buffer or |
| processor overload. |
|
|
input errors | Includes runts, giants, no buffer, CRC, frame, overrun, and ignored counts. Other |
| |
| some datagrams may have more than one error; therefore, this sum may not |
| balance with the sum of enumerated input error counts. |
