Item Description
Frames Tx. OK A count of the frames that were successfully transmitted. This counter is
incremented when the transmit status is reported as Transmit OK.
Frames Rx. OK A count of the frames that were successfully received. This does not
include frames received with frame-too-long, frame check sequence
(FCS), length, or alignment errors, or frames lost due to internal MAC
sublayer errors. This counter is incremented when the receive status is
reported as Receive OK.
Directed Frames Tx A count of directed data frames that were successfully transmitted
Multicast Frames Tx. A count of frames that were successfully transmitted (as indicated by the
status value Transmit OK) to a group destination address other than a
broadcast address.
Broadcast Frames Tx. A count of frames that were successfully transmitted (as indicated by the
transmit status Transmit OK) to the broadcast address. Frames transmitted
to multicast addresses are not broadcast frames and therefore, are
excluded.
Directed Frames Rx. A count of directed data frames that were successfully received.
