SMC Networks TigerSwitch 100 manual 110, Parameter Description

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Parameter	Description
Transmit Octets	The total number of octets transmitted out of the
	interface, including framing characters.
Transmit Unicast Packets	The total number of packets that higher-level
	protocols requested be transmitted to a
	subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were
	discarded or not sent.
Transmit Multicast	The total number of packets that higher-level
Packets	protocols requested be transmitted, and which were
	addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer,
	including those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Broadcast	The total number of packets that higher-level
Packets	protocols requested be transmitted, and which were
	addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer,
	including those that were discarded or not sent.
Transmit Discarded	The number of outbound packets which were chosen
Packets	to be discarded even though no errors had been
	detected to prevent their being transmitted. One
	possible reason for discarding such a packet could be
	to free up buffer space.
Transmit Errors	The number of outbound packets that could not be
	transmitted because of errors.
Etherlike Statistics
Alignment Errors	The number of alignment errors (missynchronized
	data packets).
Late Collisions	The number of times that a collision is detected later
	than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
FCS Errors	A count of frames received on a particular interface
	that are an integral number of octets in length but do
	not pass the FCS check. This count does not include
	frames received with frame-too-long or
	frame-too-short error.
Excessive Collisions	A count of frames for which transmission on a
	particular interface fails due to excessive collisions.
	This counter does not increment when the interface is
	operating in full-duplex mode.
