Inbound Statistics,
discards
This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without
errors that would have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer
protocol. Inbound discard statistics are incremented similar to the
indiscards stat on the RF control block stats page. The sum of all data VC
indiscards must be close to the RF control block in discards. If indiscards
are evenly distributed across SMs, then the radio is PPS limited due to
either excessive small packet transmissions, or a problem at the Ethernet
link. If indiscards are contained to one or a few SMs, then there is likely a
problem at or underneath the SM which is incrementing the count.
Inbound Statistics,
errors
This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that
prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol.
Inbound Statistics,
QPSK frgmts
This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the
QPSK modulation scheme.
Inbound Statistics,
16-QAM frgmts
This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the
16-QAM modulation scheme.
Inbound Statistics,
64-QAM frgmts
This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the
64-QAM modulation scheme.
Inbound Statistics,
256-QAM frgmts
This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the
256-QAM modulation scheme.
Outbound Statistics,
octets
This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the
interface, including those that deliver framing information.
Outbound Statistics,
ucastpkts
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level
protocols requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The
number includes those that were discarded or not sent.
Outbound Statistics,
nucastpkts
This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level
protocols requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-
broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address. The number includes those
that were discarded or not sent.
Outbound Statistics,
discards
This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without
errors that would have prevented their transmission. Outbound discard
statistics are incremented if a VC is not active when a packet is ready to
send. This is a rare condition.
Outbound Statistics,
errors
This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that
prevented their transmission.
