26.5 INTERPRETING DATA IN THE ETHERNET STATS PAGE (ALL)
The Ethernet Stats web page reports TCP throughput and error information for the
Ethernet connection of the module.
26.5.1 Ethernet Stats Parameters
The Ethernet Stats page provides the following parameters.
inoctets count
This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that
deliver framing information.
inucastpkts count
This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a
higher-layer protocol.
innucastpkts count
This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-
multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
indiscards count
This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without errors that would
have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. (Some of these packets may
have been discarded to increase buffer space.)
inerrors count
This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that prevented their
delivery to a higher-layer protocol.
inunknownprotos count
This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded because of an unknown or
unsupported protocol.
outoctets count
This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the interface, including those
that deliver framing information.
outucastpkts count
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested
transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were
discarded or not sent.
outnucastpkts count
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested
transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address.
The number includes those that were discarded or not sent.
outdiscards count
This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without errors that would
have prevented their transmission. (Some of these packets may have been discarded to
increase buffer space.)
