(ATLAS Frames Dropped) Counter

-

measures each frame that is dropped or 

discarded during communication between the ATLAS and the VoFR device. 
The exchange protocol is designed so that no frames should be discarded 
during this operation. A consistent pattern of dropped frames by a given 
VoFR device may indicate a faulty VoFR device or an overloaded ATLAS 
system.

Counts every frame successfully sent to or received from the ATLAS Sys-
tem Controller. This is an indication of activity but does not indicate the 
actual amount of frame relay data exchanged. The following equation gives 
the total number of frames handled for this VoFR device by the 
VCOM Module:

See the 

VCOM Drop

 definition below for a description of the 

 term.

Counter-measures each frame dropped or discarded by VCOM Module 
during communication with the ATLAS System Controller about a VoFR 
device. The exchange protocol is designed so that no frames should be dis-
carded during this operation. A consistent pattern of dropped frames by a 
given VoFR device may indicate a faulty VoFR device or an overloaded

Resets the elapsed usage time and frame counters for this VoFR device. 
Ordinarily

,

 users won’t reset these performance measurements. However, 

this feature can be useful when testing that a suspected problem has been 
resolved and when zeroing the various counters would make observing 
future events easier. 

The discarded frame indicated by this value does not reflect network-
level performance management

,

 but indicates an anomalous 

condition within the ATLAS unit. Persistently dropped frames may 
indicate a problem with the ATLAS unit or VCOM Module.

The discarded frame indicated by this value does not reflect network-
level performance management but indicates an anomalous 
condition within the ATLAS unit. Persistently dropped frames may 
indicate a problem with the ATLAS unit or the VCOM module.

Resetting these performance counters has no effect on the 
performance values accessible via the SNMP network management 
interface.
