Ethernet Statistics - Proxim Harmony 8550 Manual

Ethernet Statistics

The Ethernet Statistics provide information concerning the number of packets sent and
received by an Access Point over the Ethernet network.
The following statistics appear under the Ethernet Statistics heading:
G Number of Packets Sent
G Number of Packets Received
G Number of Collisions
G Frame Align Errors: An Alignment Error occurs when a received packet does
not end on a byte boundary. This also causes a CRC Error packet.
G CRC Errors: A CRC Error occurs when a received packet fails the CRC
(Cyclic Redundancy Check).
G Packets Filtered: This statistic displays the number of packets that the Access
Point did not forward to the radio network because the packet's destination was
listed in the AP's forwarding table as a node on the Ethernet network.
G Receive Overflow: An Access Point temporarily stores the packets it receives
from the Ethernet network before forwarding them to the radio network. The
Access Point stores these packets in its buffer memory, which only has a limited
amount of space available. The receive buffer overflows when the buffer
memory is full and the Access Point receives additional packets from the
Ethernet network. This may result in lost data or delayed transmissions. This
statistics reports the number of times that the receive buffer has overflowed.
