Description
Rx_MCAST_FRAMES
16 4
38 8
Multicast frames received.
The total number of multicast
frames successfully received. In
conjunction with total frames
received, provides a gross
percentage of the Ethernet usage
for multicast frames addressed to
this system.
Tx_INIT_DEFERED
1A 4
40 8
Frames sent
1
, initially deferred.
The total number of times that a
frame transmission was deferred
on its first transmission attempt.
In conjunction with total frames
sent, measures Ethernet contention
with no collisions.
Tx_ONE_COLLISION
1E 4
48 8
Frames sent
1
, single collision.
The total number of times that a
frame was successfully transmitted
on the second attempt after
a normal collision on the first
attempt. In conjunction with total
frames sent, measures Ethernet
contention at a level where there
are collisions but the backoff
algorithm still operates efficiently.
Tx_MULTI_COLLISION
22 4
50 8
Frames sent
1
, multiple
collisions.
The total number of
times that a frame was successfully
transmitted on the third or later
attempt after normal collisions on
previous attempts. In conjunction
with total frames sent, measures
Ethernet contention at a level
where there are collisions and
the backoff algorithm no longer
operates efficiently.
NO SINGLE
FRAME IS COUNTED IN MORE THAN ONE
OF THE ABOVE THREE COUNTERS.
1
Only one of these three counters will be incremented for a given frame.
