Description
A count of frames for which transmission on a
particular interface fails due to an internal MAC
sublayer transmit error.
A frame is only counted by an instance of this
object if it is not counted by the corresponding
instance of either the dot3StatsLateCollisions
object, the dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions
object, or the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors
object.
The precise meaning of the count represented by
an instance of this object is implementation
specific. In particular, an instance of this object
may represent a count of transmission errors on
a particular interface that are not otherwise
counted.
The number of times that the carrier sense
condition was lost or never asserted when
attempting to transmit a frame on a particular
interface.
The count represented by an instance of this
object is incremented at most once per
transmission attempt, even if the carrier sense
condition fluctuates during a transmission
attempt.
A count of frames received on a particular
interface that exceed the maximum permitted
frame size.
The count represented by an instance of this
object is incremented when the frameTooLong
status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC
(or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error
conditions obtained are, according to the
conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management,
counted exclusively according to the error status
presented to the LLC.
