Frame Processing and

Ethernet Statistics

All frames on the Ethernet network are received promiscuously by an
Ethernet port. However, frames may be discarded for the following reasons:

■

There is no buffer space available.

■

The frame is in error.

Figure 7-1 shows the order in which these discard tests are made.
