The Compaq network interface controller (NIC) drivers provide a number of statistics to aid in
. .
the diagnosis of network problems. These statistics can be viewed with MONITOR.NLM.
. .
. .
Information such as Packets Received and Packets Sent are common to every protocol and are
. .
reported for every controller. Others like Collisions or Beacons are particular to one protocol or
. .
. .
another (Ethernet and Token Ring, respectively). The statistics supplement the diagnostic
. .
information that would normally be obtained with a protocol analyzer or network monitor and
. .
. .
give an estimate of network and controller activity. Most of these statistics will increase during
. .
normal operation. Occasional errors do not necessarily indicate a problem.
