IPX Port Statistics
The IPX Port Statistics dialog box displays information pertaining to the IPX Port, for example, the frame type used or the number of packets transmitted/received.
IPX is a network layer protocol that is usually associated with Novell NetwareTM networks. It allows for encapsulation of four different frame types over a single physical LAN connection (provided each frame type has a unique network address): RAW (802.3), LLC (802.2), Ethernet II, and SNAP.
These statistics are mostly informational but could be useful for troubleshooting. For instance, if there was a question as to which frame type your workstation was using, you could view the statistics for each frame type and determine which one is being used by the amount of packets transmitted and received.
