Description
The number of frames received from the network
interface with a bad CRC.
The number of frames received from the network
interface that were both misaligned and have a CRC
error.
The number of frames received from the network
interface that have an unrecognized type field
(ethernet) or an illegal length field (802.3).
The number of frames received from the network
interface that were good, but dropped because no
buffers were available.
The number of frames received from the network
interface that were lost since the local system bus
was not available.
The number of times the network interface has been
initialized from reset; typically, one.
The number of times a frame transmission is
terminated due to lack of data.
The number of times a frame reception is
terminated due to lack of system bus bandwidth.
The number of times a frame transmission is
terminated due to loss of the Carrier Sense signal.
The transceiver cable may have a short or an open
circuit.
The number of times a frame transmission is
terminated due to loss of the Clear to Send signal.
The number of times a frame transmission is
terminated due to a collision.
The number of times consecutive collisions for a
frame exceed the maximum collision retry limit.
