14.8.25 DCA Control - DCA_CTRL (05B74h; R/W)
Note: The DCA tag disabled value in data movement engine 2 mode in the 82575 A0 is 11111b.
14.9 Statistics Registers
All Statistics registers reset when read. In addition, they stick at FFFF_FFFFh when the maximum value
is reached.
For the receive statistics it should be noted that a packet is indicated as received if it passes the
82575's filters and is placed into the packet buffer memory. A packet does not have to be transferred to
host memory in order to be counted as received.
Due to divergent paths between interrupt-generation and logging of relevant statistics counts, it might
be possible to generate an interrupt to the system for a noteworthy event prior to the associated
statistics count actually being incremented. This is extremely unlikely due to expected delays
associated with the system interrupt-collection and ISR delay, but might be observed as an interrupt for
which statistics values do not quite make sense. Hardware guarantees that any event noteworthy of
inclusion in a statistics count is reflected in the appropriate count within 1 s; a small time-delay prior
to a read of statistics might be necessary to avoid the potential for receiving an interrupt and observing
an inconsistent statistics count as part of the ISR.
14.9.1 CRC Error Count - CRCERRS (04000h; RC)
Counts the number of receive packets with CRC errors. In order for a packet to be counted in this
register, it must pass address filtering and must be 64 bytes or greater (from <Destination Address>
through <CRC>, inclusively) in length. If receives are not enabled, then this register does not
increment.
Note: This counter also includes the alignment errors counted by the ALGNERRC register.

Description
DCA_DIS 0 1b DCA Disable
0b = DCA tagging is enabled for this port.
1b = DCA tagging is disabled for this port.
DCA_MODE 4:1 0h DCA Mode
000b = Data movement engine 1 is supported. The TAG field in the TLP header is based
on the following coding: bit 0 is DCA enable; bits 3:1 are CPU ID).
001b = Data movement engine 2 is supported. When DCA is disabled for a given
message, the TAG field is 0000,0000b. If DCA is enabled, the TAG is set per queue as
programmed in the relevant DCA Control register.
All other values are undefined.
