OUT-Multicast Frames

The number of successfully transmitted frames whose destination address

 

was a multicast address (received by more that one station): not necessarily

 

broadcast to all stations, but more than a single station. Broadcast messages

 

are included in the count.

OUT-Fragments

The number of successful transmissions made. This will typically be greater

 

than the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are

 

broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is

 

based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable).

OUT-Frames after one or more

The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one

retries

retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would

 

increment this counter for the whole frame.

OUT-Dropped Frames, too many

The number of frames that did not transmit due to the short or long retry

retries

limit being reached because no acknowledgement or CTS was received.

IN-Unicast Frames

The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a

 

single location, not necessarily the same location, but to any single location

 

as opposed to the broadcast address.

IN-Multicast Frames

The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a

 

multicast address. Broadcast messages are included in this count.

IN-Fragments

The number of fragments successfully received. This may not be equal to the

 

sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken

 

into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on

 

the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable) on the source

 

station.

IN-Frames after one or more

The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one

retrie

retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would

 

increment this counter for the whole frame.

IN-Drops due to insufficient Rx

The number of received frames discarded due to lack of buffer space.
