Transmit succeeded, deferred The number of frames whose transmission was delayed because
of a busy medium.
This happens if another station is transmitting on the wire when
the adapter receives the command to transmit a packet.
Transmit failed, late collision The number of transmits that had a collision after 512 bits of the
packet were transmitted.
This can be caused by faulty adapters, faulty network equipment,
cables that are too long, or faulty terminators.
Transmit failed, excessive collisions The number of transmits that were aborted because of too many
collisions.
This usually indicates that a board in the network is bad or
jabbering. (Jabbering means the board has been on the channel
longer than the time needed to transmit the maximum size
packet.)
This condition could also occur in very heavy traffic conditions.
Transmit failed, carrier sense missing The number of transmits aborted because of loss of carrier sense
while transmitting without any collisions.
This is usually caused by a faulty adapter in the network, faulty
cabling, an unterminated cable, or a faulty repeater.
Transmit failed, excessive deferral The number of transmits aborted because of excessive deferrals.
This is usually caused by a faulty adapter or repeater in the
system that is jabbering on the wire.
It can also occur under very heavy traffic conditions.
Receive failed, bad frame alignment The number of received frames that were misaligned.
This occurs when the number of octets in the frame is not correct
or the frame does not pass the FCS check.
These bad packets are usually caused by a faulty adapter or
repeater in the system. They can also be caused by a collision.
