20 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal
2.5 - STATISTICS
The Platine terminal monitors network performance from the time it is switched
on. The logs record details of exchanged frames, rejected frames, etc. The
'statistics' menu may be used to access these logs.
Ethernet
ARP
IP
ICMP
TCP Client
TCP Server
These statistics are mainly intended for network administration tasks, such as
error diagnosis or network optimization. This manual only describes the
Ethernet, the ARP and the TCP (Client and Server) options.
2.5.1 -'Ethernet' Option
This option provides statistics relating to the embedded AX3000 Ethernet
controller. Out of 16 parameters, the main ones are:
- intr: number of interrupts received by the Platine terminal. Generally,
one interrupt is raised for each received frame (but sometimes one
interrupt is raised for multiple frames).
- short: number of received frames with a truncated (too short) header.
- dribble: number of received frames with an incorrect header.
- crc: number of received frames with an incorrect CRC.
- good: number of correct frames received.
- unktype: number of non-IP or non-ARP frames received (IPX frames,
for example).
- output: total number of frames sent by the Platine terminal.
- drop: number of dropped frames (because the input queue overflows).
- nomem: number of dropped frames (because of shortage of memory).
2.5.2 - 'ARP' Option
This option is used to display statistics about 'ARP' requests (Address
Resolution Protocol) which have been sent to, or received from, the Platine
