Packets Received Indicates the total number of packets
received by the adapter.
Tx (Transmit) Stats
One Collision Displays the total number of times the
network adapter card experienced at least
one collision while transmitting a packet.
More Collisions Displays the total number of times the
network adapter card experienced more
than one collision while sending a packet.
Max Collisions Displays the total number of times the
network adapter card experienced the
maximum number of 16 collisions while
attempting to transmit a packet, causing
the adapter to discard the packet.
Late Collisions Specifies the total number of late
collisions experienced by the network
adapter card. A late collision occurs when
the adapter detects a collision after
sending the 512th bit of a packet.
Lost Carrier Specifies the total number of times the
adapter lost the carrier sense condition
while transmitting a packet.
Deferred Specifies the total number of deferred
transmissions experienced by the
adapter. A deferred transmission occurs
when the adapter delays the transmission
of a packet because the network medium
is already busy.
Underruns Specifies the total number of underrun
errors experienced by the network
adapter card. An underrun error occurs
when the adapter sends an incomplete
frame because the system did not transfer
the frame fast enough to the adapter or
because the adapter was unable to gain
control of the system’s bus.
