Port Statistic  Description 
Dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames 
A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for 
which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision. A frame that is 
counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding 
instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or 
ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the corresponding instance of 
the dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames object. This counter does not 
increment when the interface is operating in full-duplex mode. 
Dot3StatsSQETestErrors 
A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message is generated by the 
PLS sublayer for a particular interface. The SQE TEST ERROR is set in 
accordance with the rules for verification of the SQE detection mechanism 
in the PLS Carrier Sense Function as described in IEEE Std. 802.3, 1998 
Edition, section 7.2.4.6. This counter does not increment on interfaces 
operating at speeds greater than 10 Mb/s or operating in full-duplex 
mode. 
Dot3StatsDeferredTransmissions 
A count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular 
interface is delayed because the medium is busy. The count represented 
by an instance of this object does not include frames involved in collisions. 
This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in 
full-duplex mode. 
Dot3StatsLateCollisions 
The number of times that a collision is detected on a particular interface 
later than one slotTime into the transmission of a packet. A late collision 
included in a count represented by an instance of this object is also 
considered a generic collision for purposes of other collision-related 
statistics. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating 
in full-duplex mode. 
Dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions 
A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails 
because of excessive collisions. This counter does not increment when the 
interface is operating in full-duplex mode. 
Dot3StatsInternalMacTransmitErrors 
A count of frames for which the transmission on a particular interface fails 
because of an internal MAC sublayer transmit error. A frame is only 
counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the 
corresponding instance of the dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the 
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions object, or the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors 
object. The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of 
this object is implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this 
object may represent a count of transmission errors on a particular 
interface that are not otherwise counted. 
Dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors 
The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or never 
asserted when attempting to transmit a frame on a particular interface. 
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented, at 
most, once per transmission attempt, even if the carrier sense condition 
fluctuates during a transmission attempt. This counter does not increment 
when the interface is operating in full-duplex mode. 
Dot3StatsFrameTooLongs 
A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceeds the 
maximum permitted frame size. The count represented by an instance of 
this object is incremented when the frameTooLong status is returned by the 
MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user). According to the conventions 
of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, received frames for which multiple 
error conditions are obtained are counted exclusively according to the 
error status presented to the LLC.
