Table 7-16. Frame Relay Performance Statistics (1 of 2)

Statistic	What It Indicates

Frame Relay Link

Frames Sent	Number of frames sent over the frame relay interface.

Frames Received	Number of frames received over the interface.

Characters Sent	Number of data octets (bytes) sent over the interface.

Characters Received	Number of data octets (bytes) received over the interface.

FECNs Received	Number of FECNs received due to data traffic congestion in the
	same direction of the frame carrying the FECN indicator.

BECNs Received	Number of BECNs received due to data traffic congestion in the
	opposite direction of the frame carrying the BECN indicator.

Frame Relay Errors

Total Errors	Total number of frame relay errors includes short frames, long
	frames, invalid DLCIs, unknown DLCIs, and unknown errors. This
	number does not include LMI errors.
	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	Number of invalid frames received over the interface. There is a
	non-frame relay device on the other end of the link.

Short Rx Frames	Number of frames received over the interface that were less than
	5 octets in length. The device on the far end of the link may be
	configured incorrectly.

Long Rx Frames	Number of frames received over the interface that were more than
	8196 octets in length. The device on the far end of the link may be
	configured incorrectly.

Invalid DLCI	Number of frames sent to invalid DLCIs (not 16–1007).

Unknown DLCI	Number of frames received for unknown DLCIs.

Unknown Error	Number of frames received that do not fall into one of the other
	statistic categories. The unit cannot recognize the error.
