Description

System Buffer

Unavailable

LAT protocol Counters:

Number of times a system buffer was not available in the access server for an incoming frame. This counter should accumulate at a rate of less than two counts per day. It is normal to experience some errors when nodes are added to the Ethernet.

Messages Received

Number of LAT circuit messages successfully

 

received by the access server.

Messages Transmitted

Number of LAT circuit messages successfully

 

transmitted by the access server.

Solicitations Accepted

Number of queued connection requests that the

 

terminal server has accepted. This number

 

includes requests that are queued and requests

 

that were immediately satisfied without

 

queuing. The sum of the number of

 

solicitations accepted and the number of

 

solicitations rejected equals the number of

 

queued connection requests that the access

 

server received.

Solicitations Rejected

Number of queued connection requests that the

 

access server could not process and therefore

 

rejected. The sum of the number of

 

solicitations accepted and the number of

 

solicitations rejected equals the number of

 

queued connection requests that the access

 

server received.

Multiple Node Addresses

Number of times a service node became

 

available with different Ethernet addresses.

Duplicates Received

Number of LAT messages that the access

 

server received more than once. This value

 

should be less than 1/1000 of the value for

 

Messages Received.

Messages Retransmitted

Number of LAT messages that the access

 

server retransmitted, because they were not

 

acknowledged by the service nodes. This value

 

should be less than 1/1000 of the value for

 

Messages Transmitted.
