Packet Filters
– (set in commands from the protocol) specifies the types of
packets that can be received on this interface (more than one category can be
specified:
Directed and Multicast
or
Group and Fuctional
Broadcast
Promiscuous
(any packet on the LAN)
Any Source Packet
(any source routing packet on the LAN)
Packets In/Out
– is the number of packets received/transmitted over the
interface.
Bytes In/Out
– is the number of bytes received/transmitted over the interface.
Multi-Cast In/Out
– is the number of packets received/transmitted via a multicast
address over the interface.
Broadcast In/Out
– is the number of packets received/transmitted via a broadcast
address over the interface.
Frm Dropped In/Out
– is the number of incoming/outgoing frames that were
dropped.
Q Dropped In
– is the number of incoming Q-packets that were dropped.
Dropped Timeout
– is the number of transmitted frames that did not return due
to a timeout or reception of another frame.
Errors In
– is the number of errors received over the interface.
Ethernet-Specific Statistics
Alignment Errors
– is the number of frames with FCS (frame check sequence)
errors due to non-integral lengths.
Xmt w/1 Coll
– is the number of frames that were transmitted after one collision
(with a frame transmitted from another node).
Overrun Errors
– is the number of frames that were not accepted due to DMA
(direct memory access) overrun errors.
Xmt w/mul Coll
– is the number of frames that were transmitted after multiple
collisions.
Xmt/Deferral
– is the number of frames that were held up due to traffic from other
directions, then transmitted later.
Xmt CD Heartbeat
– is the number of frames that were transmitted containing a
CD (collision detection) signal.
Not Xmt (Coll)
– is the number of frames that were not transmitted due to colli-
sions.
Frm w/lost CS
– is the number of frames that experienced a loss of the CS (carrier
sense) signal at the receiving node.
Late Collisions
– is the number of transmitted frames that were involved in col-
lisions while outside the flow control window.
Underruns
– is the number of frames that were not accepted due to DMA (direct
memory access) underrun errors.
