Processor Channel Status form (page 3)
The example below is for processor channels (page 3 of the form). Information
about administered hop channels displays on page 4 of the form.
The processor or hop channel status information can take either 1 or 2 pages on
this form, depending on the number of links being reported and their condition.
Hop channel information (shown only for BX.25 links using the Processor
Interface or PGATE circuit packs) uses only 1 page.
Incoming received
Unicast packets
The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a
higher-layer protocol.
Incoming received
multicast packets
The number of non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or
subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer
protocol.
Incoming dropped
octets
The total number of octets received on the interface,
including framing characters.
Incoming errored
packets
The number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer
protocol.
Incoming packets
discarded
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be
discarded even though no errors had been detected to
prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be
to free up buffer space.
Outgoing
Transmitted
unicast packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address,
including those that were discarded or not sent.
Outgoing multicast
packets
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols
requested be transmitted to a non- unicast
(subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address,
including those that were discarded or not sent.
Outgoing
transmitted octets
The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface,
including framing characters.
Outgoing errored
packets
The number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
Outgoing packets
discarded
The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be
discarded even though no errors had been detected to
prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for
discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
