TABLE 3-43 Traffic Statistics (Continued)
Statistic | Description |
|
|
•Transmit Discarded Packets The number of outbound packets which were chosen 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. |
| |
• Alignment Errors | The number of alignment errors (missynchronized data |
| packets). |
• Late Collisions | The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512 |
| |
• 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 |
| |
• 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 |
| mode. |
• Single Collision Frames | The number of successfully transmitted frames for which |
| transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision. |
• Internal MAC Transmit | A count of frames for which transmission on a particular |
Errors | interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error. |
• Multiple Collision Frames | A count of successfully transmitted frames for which |
| transmission is inhibited by more than one collision. |
• Carrier Sense Errors | The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost |
| or never asserted when attempting to transmit a frame. |
• SQE Test Errors | A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message is |
| generated by the PLS sublayer for a particular interface. |
• Frames Too Long | A count of frames received on a particular interface that |
| exceed the maximum permitted frame size. |
• Deferred Transmissions | A count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on |
| a particular interface is delayed because the medium was |
| busy. |
• Internal MAC Receive | A count of frames for which reception on a particular |
Errors | interface fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error. |
