NOTE: The RMON specification requires that this is, “The total number of events where packets were dropped by the probe due to a lack of resources. This number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped; it is the number of times this condition is detected." The “RX FIFO Overflow Frame Drop Counter Ports 0 - 3 ($0x594 – 0x597)" and “TX FIFO Overflow Frame Drop Counter Ports 0 - 3 ($0x621 – 0x624)" in the IXF1104 support this and increment when either an RX FIFO or TX FIFO overflows. If any IXF1104 programmable packet filtering is enabled, the “RX FIFO Errored Frame Drop Counter Ports 0 - 3 ($0x5A2 - 0x5A5)" and “TX FIFO Errored Frame Drop Counter Ports 0 - 3 ($0x625 – 0x629)" increment with every frame removed in addition to the existing frames counted due to FIFO overflow.
