received by the current MP since Statistics were last
cleared.
Adds - NMP information added by network peers
Deletes - NMP information deleted by network peers
CAUTION: Non-
zero counts for
Ac-
cess Rx
are caused by an
FP Mesh bridging link
on the current MP being
incorrectly configured
as an Access, rather
than as a Core interface.
Access Rx Ctl - count of the number of FP Mesh control
packets received on the current MP’s Access interfaces
(refer to Section 3.2.1) since
Statistics were last cleared. In
a correctly configured FP Mesh network these counts
should always be
0 (zero).
Packets - total number of packets received
Bytes - total number of bytes received
Loop Detect - counts loop detection protocol packets since
Statistics were last cleared.
Tx Packets - the number of loop detection packets
transmitted by the current Bridge
Rx Packets - the number of loop detection packets
received by the current Bridged
Neighbor Packet Drops - counts FP Mesh routing protocol
packets dropped by the current Bridge since
Statistics were
last cleared.
New - the number of routing protocol packets received
from new neighbors and dropped because of
congestion
Holddown - the number of routing protocol packets
received from unstable neighbors and therefore
dropped
Other - displays additional statistical information.
Max Used Ctl Packets - maximum FP Mesh control
packets received in a single 250-millisecond interval, up
to a maximum measurable count of
30, indicating how
busy the FP Mesh network is.
Nbr ID Changes - counts the number of times the
current MP has detected a change in the routing
protocol identifier of a neighbor since
Statistics were last
cleared.
Congestion for Ms - shows current measure of the
length of time in milliseconds that the current MP will
remain in congested mode while processing routing
control packets.
Proto. Mem. Bytes - protocol memory bytes, shows
current measure of the amount of Bridge memory used
by the FP Mesh routing protocol.
