Monitoring Frame Relay Interfaces

R-Rs received

Indicates the number of Reset-Request packets sent by the peer

decompressor. A peer decompressor sends a Reset-Request

whenever the peer detects that it is out of synch with its peer

compressor. If this number increases rapidly, packets are being lost

or corrupted on this circuit.

R-Rs transmitted

Indicates the number of Reset-Request packets sent since

compression started on the circuit. If this number increases rapidly,

packets are being lost or corrupted on this circuit.

R-As received

Indicates the number of Reset-Acknowledgements received in

response to Reset-Requests. The compressor also sends out this

packet to signal that it has reset its compression history.

R-As transmitted

This is the number of Reset-Acknowledgements sent to the peer.

R-R mode discards

Indicates the number of compressed data frames that were

discarded while waiting for an R-A after sending out an R-R.

Enlarged frames

This is a count of the frames that could not be compressed. Usually

an incompressible frame is sent in its uncompressed format within a

special compression frame type allowing the compressor and

decompressor to remain synchronized.

Decompress discards

Indicates the number of compressed frames that were discarded

because of decompression errors.

Compression errors

Indicates the number of frames that had compression errors which

were transmitted in an uncompressed form.

Compression ratio

Indicates the approximate effectiveness of the compressor.

Decompression ratio

Indicates the approximate effectiveness of the decompressor.

Encryption capable

Indicates whether this circuit is encryption enabled.

Operational

Indicates whether encryption is active on the circuit. When this is

yes, data is being encrypted on this link.

Encryption errors

Indicates the number of frames that had encryption errors.

Decryption errors

Indicates the number of frames that had decryption errors.

Rcv error discards

Indicates the number of compressed frames that were discarded

because of reception problems.

Current number of xmit frames queued

Indicates the number of frames currently queued for this circuit by
