Categories on the Bridge Statistics screen are the following:
NAME Lists each individual circuit group by name.
Receive Lists the number of frames received by the circuit group.
Forward Lists the number of received frames that were forwarded
by the bridge. Forwarding requires that the bridge “learned”
the destination address.
Flood Lists the number of received frames that were flooded by
the bridge. Flooding indicates: (1) that the bridge had not
“learned” the destination address at the time of packet
reception, or (2) the packet contained a multicast address.
Drop Lists the number of received frames that were dropped by
the bridge. Reasons for dropping packets include (but are
not limited to): (1) the packet is local to the circuit, (2) the
packet was directed to a blocked port, and
(3) protocol/source address filtering.
TOTAL Lists the total for each of the above counts for all circuit
groups.
