more comprehensive for some NICs than for others.

Interface components of the Statistics/General window are described below:
■
Frames Tx OK—Count of frames that are successfully transmitted. This counter is
incremented when the TransmitStatus is reported as transmitOK.
■
Frame Rx OK—Count of frames that are successfully received (receiveOK). This does
not include frames received with frame-too-long, FCS, length or alignment errors, or
frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer error. This counter is incremented when the
ReceiveStatus is reported as receiveOK.

Directed Frames Tx—Count of directed data frames that are successfully transmitted.
■
Multicast Frames Tx—Count of frames that are successfully transmitted, as indicated
by the status value transmitOK, to a group destination address other than broadcast.
■
Broadcast Frames Tx—Count of the frames that were successfully transmitted as
indicated by the TransmitStatus transmitOK, to the broadcast address. Frames
transmitted to multicast addresses are not broadcast frames and are excluded.
■
Directed Frames Rx—Count of directed data frames that are successfully received.
■
Multicast Frames Rx—Count of frames that are successfully received and are directed
