Ethernet Statistics
This screen shows a summary of packets received and transmitted, dropped packets, errors, over-
runs of the buffer, RX data rate (bps), and RX/TX data for Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast
transmissions.
One item that may require further explanation is the
count of the number of times that carrier sense (CSMA/collision detection) was not asserted or
was de-asserted during the transmission of a frame without collision. An excessive count here
may indicate a faulty Ethernet cable or connection problem.
