Description
The number of packets dropped due to waiting too
long for a bus to become available.
The number of unknown packet types if Ethernet
DIX encapsulation is being used. The number of
packets with illegal lengths if IEEE 802.2/802.3
encapsulation is being used.
The number of frames sent.
The number of times packets could not be
transmitted because the RAC lost the Carrier Sense
signal; this is usually the result of excessive traffic
on the Ethernet.
The number of times packets could not be
transmitted because the RAC lost the Clear to Send
signal – usually the result of a serious hardware
failure or incompatibility.
The number of times the RAC had to retry
transmissions automatically; this is usually the
result of normal Ethernet traffic. These retries do not
cause the boot command to display ''*."
The number of times the RAC could not transmit
packets because there were too many collisions; this
is usually the result of excessive traffic on the
Ethernet, but can be due to wiring errors or
hardware failure. The boot command displays these
retries as "*."
