IEEE 802.3 Statistics

Multicast Frames Rx.

A count of frames that were successfully received and are directed to an 
active nonbroadcast group address. This does not include frames received 
with frame-too-long, FCS, length, or alignment errors, or frames lost 
because of internal MAC sublayer errors. This counter is incremented as 
indicated by the Receive OK status. 

Broadcast Frames Rx. A count of frames that were successfully received and are directed to a 

broadcast group address. This count does not include frames received 
with frame-too-long, FCS, length, or alignment errors, or frames lost 
because of internal MAC sublayer errors. This counter is incremented as 
indicated by the Receive OK status. 

Frames Rx. with CRC 
Error

The number of frames received with CRC errors.

Description

Frames Rx. with 
Aligment Error

A count of the frames that were not an integral number of octets in length 
and do not pass the FCS check. This counter is incremented when the 
receive status is reported as Alignment Error. 

Frames Tx. with One 
Collision

A count of the frames that were involved in a single collision and were 
subsequently transmitted successfully. This counter is incremented when 
the result of a transmission is reported as Transmit OK, and the attempt 
value is 2. 

Frames Tx. with more 
than One Collision

A count of the frames that were involved in more than one collision and 
were subsequently transmitted successfully. This counter is incremented 
when the transmit status is reported as Transmit OK, and the value of the 
attempts variable is greater than 2 and less than or equal to the attempt 
limit. 

Frames Tx. after 
Deferral

A count of the frames that were delayed being transmitted on the first 
attempt because the medium was busy. The frames involved in any 
collision are not counted.
