Runts
"This counter is incremented by one for each CarrierEvent on this port that
meets one of the following two conditions. Only one test need be made.
a) The ActivityDuration is greater than ShortEventMaxTime and less than
ValidPacketMinTime and the CollisionEvent signal is deasserted.
b) The OctetCount is less than 64, the ActivityDuration is greater than
ShortEventMaxTime and the CollisionEvent signal is deasserted.
ValidPacketMinTime is greater than or equal to 552 bit times and less than 565
bit times.
An event whose length is greater than 74 bit times but less than 82 bit times
shall increment either the shortEvents counter or the runts counter but not
both. A CarrierEvent greater than or equal to 552 bit times but less than 565
bit times may or may not be counted as a runt.
ValidPacketMinTime has tolerances included to provide for circuit losses
between a conformance test point at the AUI and the measurement point
within the state machine.
Runts usually indicate collision fragments, a normal network event. In certain
situations associated with large diameter networks a percentage of collision
fragments may exceed ValidPacketMinTime.
The approximate minimum time for rollover of this counter is 16 hours."

Collisions
"This counter is incremented by one for any CarrierEvent signal on any port for
which the CollisionEvent signal on this port is also asserted.
The approximate minimum time for rollover of this counter is 16 hours."
