Field

Description

 

 

 

 

FrameTooLongs

A count of frames received on a particular interface that

 

 

exceed the maximum permitted frame size. The count

 

 

represented by an instance of this object is incremented

 

 

when the frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC

 

 

service to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for

 

 

which multiple error conditions occur are, according to the

 

 

conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted

 

 

exclusively according to the error status presented to the

 

 

LLC.

 

 

 

 

SQETestErrors

A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message is

 

 

generated by the PLS sublayer for a particular interface.

 

 

The SQE TEST ERROR message is defined in

 

 

section 7.2.2.2.4 of ANSI/IEEE 802.3-1985 and its

 

 

generation is described in section 7.2.4.6 of the same

 

 

document.

 

 

 

 

DeferredTransmissions

A count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on

 

 

a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy.

 

 

The count represented by an instance of this object does not

 

 

include frames involved in collisions.

 

 

 

 

SingleCollisionFrames

A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular

 

 

interface for which transmission is inhibited by exactly one

 

 

collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object

 

 

is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the

 

 

ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts,

 

 

and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the

 

 

MultipleCollisionFrames object.

 

 

 

 

MultipleCollisionFrames

A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular

 

 

interface for which transmission is inhibited by more than one

 

 

collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object

 

 

is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the

 

 

ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts,

 

 

and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the

 

 

SingleCollisionFrames object.

 

 

 

 

LateCollisions

The number of times that a collision is detected on a

 

 

particular interface later than 512 bit-times into the

 

 

transmission of a packet. Five hundred and twelve bit-times

 

 

corresponds to 51.2 microseconds on a 10 Mb/s system.

 

 

A (late) collision included in a count represented by an

 

 

instance of this object is also considered as a (generic)

 

 

collision for purposes of other collision-related statistics.

 

 

 

 

ExcessiveCollisions

A count of frames for which transmission on a particular

 

 

interface fails due to excessive collisions.
