transmitted.

 

 

Multicast

This field shows the number of good multicast packets transmitted.

 

 

Broadcast

This field shows the number of good broadcast packets transmitted.

 

 

Pause

This field shows the number of 802.3x Pause packets transmitted.

 

 

Tagged

This field shows the number of packets with VLAN tags transmitted.

 

 

Rx Packet

The following fields display detailed information about packets received.
