The advanced Statistics screen displays the following additional statistics:

Send

Send Rate: This field reports the adapter’s current transmit rate.

Unicast Bytes Sent: This statistic reports the total number of bytes contained in the unicast packets transmitted by the adapter.

Multicast Bytes Sent: This statistic reports the total number of bytes contained in the multicast packets transmitted by the adapter.

Single Retries: After the adapter sends a packet, it waits for an acknowledgment from the receiving radio to confirm that the packet was successfully received. If an acknowledgment is not received within a fixed period of time, the adapter will retransmit the packet. This statistic reports the number of packets that required one retry before the adapter received an acknowledgment.

Multiple Retries: This statistic reports the number of packets that required more than one retry before the adapter received an acknowledgment.

Excessive Retries: This statistic reports the number of packets that were not suc- cessfully transmitted because the adapter did not receive an acknowledgment within the maximum number of retries.
