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.

5.1.8.1Conventions

The following conventions are used throughout the RMON Management Information Base (MIB) and its companion documents.

Good Packets: Error-free packets that have a valid frame length. For example, on Ethernet, good packets are error-free packets that are between 64 and 1518 octets long. They follow the form defined in IEEE 802.3, Section 3.2.

Bad Packets: Bad packets are packets that have proper framing and recognized as packets, but contain errors within the packet or have an invalid length. For example, on Ethernet, bad packets have a valid preamble and SFD, but have a bad CRC, or are either shorter than 64 octets or longer than 1518 octets.
