FDDI Applications

6-12 FDDI Statistics

FDDI Statistics
The FDDI Statistics window displays traffic statistics for the HSIM-F6’s SMT
entity, including the number of frames and kilobytes per second (averaged over a
defined poll rate), the peak number of kilobytes per second, and the module’s
bandwidth utilization (expressed as a percentage) for the current poll interval.
To access the FDDI Statistics window:
1. In the Chassis View window, click on Device to display the Device menu.
2. Click on FDDI Statistics. The FDDI Statistics window (Figure 6-6) will appear.
Figure6 -6. The FDDI Statistics Window
The FDDI Statistics window displays the following information for the module:
SMT#
This field displays the index number of Station Management (SMT) entity for the
HSIM-F6.
Frames/sec
The number of frames/second (averaged over the specified poll interval)
transmitted by the indicated SMT.
KBytes/sec
The number of kilobytes/second (averaged over the specified poll interval)
transmitted by the indicated SMT.
Peak KBytes/sec
The peak number of kilobytes/second transmitted by the indicated SMT, as
detected over all polling intervals since monitoring began (i.e., since the FDDI
Statistics window was first opened).
