RMON C
OUNTERS
The serial interface maintains some counters that are useful for gathering RMON statistics. The counters are
all 16 bits wide apart from the byte counters which are 32 bits wide (but occupy two register slots). The registers
may be cleared by software writing to them. If any counter overflows it will wrap to zero and continue to count.
