normal priority was originally requested by the sender, but which were
later automatically priority-boosted by the 100VG-AnyLAN network. It
does not include frames received by the adapter card but dropped
because no upper layer protocol had requested those frames, or because
the link was disconnected. The maximum printable value of this 64-bit
field is 17 digits, or about 99 million Gbytes. In the example above, no
high priority data has been received.
Receives norm — Total number of unicast frames (addressed to this
specific adapter card) which were successfully received over the
medium at normal priority and forwarded to an upper layer protocol
such as IP. This includes link training frames received from the
100VG-AnyLAN hub. It does not include unicast frames received but
dropped for any reason. The maximum printable value of this 64-bit
field is 17 digits, or about 99 million billion frames. In the previous
example, 2.07 million unicast frames were received at normal priority
and forwarded to upper layers.
Receives hipri — Total number of unicast frames (addressed to this
specific adapter card) which were successfully received over the
medium at high (demand) priority and forwarded to an upper layer
protocol such as IP. This includes unicast frames for which normal
priority was originally requested by the sender, but which were later
automatically priority-boosted by the 100VG-AnyLAN network. It does
not include unicast frames received but dropped for any reason. The
maximum printable value of this 64-bit field is 17 digits, or about 99
million billion frames. In the previous example, no frames have been
received at high priority.
Recv broadcast norm — Total number of frames addressed to a
broadcast address which were successfully received over the medium at
normal priority and forwarded to an upper layer protocol such as ARP.
This does not include broadcast frames received but dropped for any
reason. The maximum value of this 64-bit field is 17 digits, or about 99
million billion frames. In the previous example, 47.1 million broadcast
frames were received at normal priority and forwarded to upper layers.
Recv broadcast hipri — Total number of frames addressed to a
broadcast address which were successfully received over the medium at
high (demand) priority and forwarded to an upper layer protocol such
as ARP. This includes broadcast frames for which normal priority was
originally requested by the sender, but which were later automatically
priority-boosted by the 100VG-AnyLAN network. It does not include
broadcast frames received but dropped for any reason. The maximum
printable value of this 64-bit field is 17 digits, or about 99 million billion
frames. In the previous example, no frames have been received at high
priority.
Recv multicast norm — Total number of frames addressed to a
multicast address which were successfully received over the medium at
normal priority and forwarded to an upper layer protocol such as
