Rx packets
(Not shown on the E-MSM460)
The total number of packets received.
Rx dropped
(Not shown on the E-MSM460)
The number of received packets that were dropped due to lack of resources on the AP. This
should not occur under normal circumstances. A possible cause could be if many client
stations are continuously transmitting small packets at a high data rate.
Rx multicast octets
The number of octets received successfully as part of multicast (including broadcast)
MSDUs. These octets include MAC Header and Frame Body of all associated fragments.
Rx unicast octets
The number of octets received successfully as part of unicast MSDUs. These octets include
MAC Header and Frame Body of all associated fragments.
Rx fragments
The number of MPDUs of type Data or Management received successfully.
Rx multicast frames
The number of MSDUs, with a multicast MAC address (including the broadcast MAC
address), as the Destination Address, received successfully.
Rx unicast frames
The number of MSDUs, with a unicast MAC address as the Destination Address received
successfully.
Rx discards no buffer
The number of received MPDUs that were discarded because of lack of buffer space.
Rx discards WEP excluded
The number of discarded packets, excluding WEP-related errors.
Rx discards WEP ICV error
The number of received MPDUs that were discarded due to malformed WEP packets.
Rx MSG in bad msg fragments
The number of MPDUs of type Data or Management received successfully, while there was
another reception going on above the carrier detect threshold but with bad or incomplete
PLCP Preamble and Header (the message-in-message path #2 in the modem).
