by Transmit ctrl bytes is distributed over this number of frames. The
maximum printable value of this 64-bit field is 17 digits, or about 99
million billion frames. In the previous example, 0 control frames were
transmitted at normal priority.
Transmits overruns — Total number of frames that were deferred to
other network traffic before their initial transmission onto the network.
This means that the 100Base-T card had to wait for carrier to drop and
stay dropped for a few nanoseconds, before attempting to transmit the
frame. The maximum printable value of this 64-bit field is 17 digits, or
about 99 million billion frames. In the previous example, 1738 transmit
frames were deferred.
Level-2 connects — Number of times the link driver noticed the link
had previously been established, but was no longer up. This may occur
because the cable was unplugged, the hub was powered off, the hub
automatically requested a reconnect, or normally (at link shutdown
time). This total does not include repetitive, failed attempts by the link
driver to reestablish the link. The maximum value of this 32-bit field is
2147483647.
Level-2 disconnects — Number of times the link driver noticed the
link had previously been established, but was no longer up. This may
occur because the cable was unplugged, the hub was powered off, the
hub automatically requested a reconnect, or normally (at link shutdown
time). This total does not include repetitive, failed attempts by the link
driver to reestablish the link. The maximum value of this 32-bit field is
2147483647.
Receive bytes — Total number of bytes successfully transmitted onto
the medium. This includes normal data bytes as well as control data
bytes. The maximum printable value of this 64-bit field is 17 digits, or
about 99 million Gbytes. In the previous example, 10.1 million bytes
were transmitted, or about 9.7 Mbytes.
Receives — Total number of frames successfully received from the
card at normal priority. This includes normal data as well as control
data frames. The byte count given by Receive bytes is distributed over
this number of frames. The maximum printable value of this 64-bit field
is 17 digits, or about 99 million billion frames. In the previous example,
127700 frames were transmitted at normal priority.
Receive ctrl bytes — Total number of control bytes successfully
received from the card. The maximum printable value of this 64-bit
field is 17 digits, or about 99 million Gbytes. In the previous example,
10.1 million bytes were received, or about 9.7 Mbytes.
Receive ctrl — Total number of control frames successfully received
from the card at normal priority. The byte count given by Receive Ctrl
bytes is distributed over this number of frames. The maximum
printable value of this 64-bit field is 17 digits, or about 99 million billion
frames. In the previous example, 0 control frames were received at
