After you select a new display mode, the statistics (and graphs, where applicable) will refresh to reflect the current choice, as described below.
Raw Counts
The total count of network traffic received or transmitted on the indicated interface since device counters were last reset. Raw counts are provided for the following parameters:
In Octets | Octets received on the interface, including framing |
| characters. |
In Packets | Packets (both unicast and |
| device interface and delivered to a |
In Discards | Packets received by the device interface that were |
| discarded even though no errors prevented them from |
| being delivered to a higher layer protocol (e.g., to free up |
| buffer space in the device). |
In Errors | Packets received by the device interface that contained |
| errors that prevented them from being delivered to a |
| |
In Unknown | Packets received by the device interface that were |
| discarded because of an unknown or unsupported |
| protocol. |
Out Octets | Octets transmitted by the interface, including framing |
| characters. |
Out Packets | Packets transmitted, at the request of a higher level |
| protocol, by the device interface to a subnetwork address |
| (both unicast and |
Out Discards | Outbound packets that were discarded by the device |
| interface even though no errors were detected that |
| would prevent them from being transmitted. A possible |
| reason for discard would be to free up buffer space in the |
| device. |
Out Errors | Outbound packets that could not be transmitted by the |
| device interface because they contained errors. |
Load
The number of bytes processed by the indicated interface during the last poll interval in comparison to the theoretical maximum load for that interface type (10 Mbps for standard Ethernet). Load is further defined by the following parameters:
In Octets | The number of bytes received by this interface, expressed |
| as a percentage of the theoretical maximum load. |
