Frame Relay Performance Statistics

The following statistics appear when Frame Relay is selected from the

Performance Statistics menu.

Main Menu → Status → Performance Statistics → Frame Relay

All counts continue to increment until the maximum value is reached (232 ±2), then the count starts over. The NextLink and PrevLink function keys only appear when multiple frame relay links have been configured.

This screen only appears when Service Type is set to Frame Relay.

Table 5-14. Frame Relay Performance Statistics (1 of 3)

Statistic	What It Indicates
Frame Relay Link
Frames Sent	The number of frames sent over the interface.
Frames Received	The number of frames received over the interface.
Characters Sent	The number of data octets (bytes) sent over the interface.
Characters Received	The number of data octets (bytes) received over the interface.
FECNs Received	The number of foreword explicit congestion notifications
	received over the interface.
	The network sends FECNs to notify users of data traffic
	congestion in the same direction of the frame carrying the
	FECN indicator.
BECNs Received	The number of backward explicit congestion notifications
	received over the interface.
	The network sends BECNs to notify users of data traffic
	congestion in the opposite direction of the frame carrying the
	BECN indicator.
Frame Relay Errors
Total Errors	The number of total frame relay errors, excluding LMI errors.
	Short frames, long frames, invalid DLCIs, unknown DLCIs, and
	unknown errors are included in this total.
	Indicates that there may be a non-frame relay device on the
	other end of the link, or the units at either the far-end or both
	ends of the link may be configured incorrectly.
Invalid Rx Frames	The number of invalid frames received over the Network or
	Port-1 interface.
	There is a non-frame relay device on the other end of the link.
