Paradyne 9128-II, 9126 Frame Relay Performance Statistics, For FrameSaver units with an Isdn DBM

7. Operation and Maintenance

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.

For FrameSaver units with an ISDN DBM:

All enabled multilink aggregate links are available for selection from the Frame Relay Performance Statistics screen. The multilink aggregate link must be enabled if statistics are to be collected for this frame relay link. When the frame relay link is the multilink aggregate link, statistics for its related constituent links can be viewed.

To view the statistics for a multilink constituent link, select the ConstLinkStats function key. All enabled multilink constituent links become available for selection. Select the desired constituent link from the Multilink Constituent Link field.

The frame relay performance statistics collected for any frame relay link are collected for multilink frame relay links, unless the link is a multilink aggregate link. In this case, statistics for Frame Relay LMI and Frame Relay HDLC Errors are not collected; these statistics are available for multilink constituent links only.

Table 7-20. Frame Relay Performance Statistics (1 of 4)

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 forward 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.
