Broadcast Frames The number of Ethernet broadcast
frames received since starting the test.
Broadcast Packets The number of broadcast IP packets
received since starting the test.
IPv4 Rx Packets A count of all IPv4 packets received
meeting filter criteria since starting the
test. When monitoring traffic, IPv4
packets can be counted even if the
HST is configured to filter for all IP traf-
fic.
IPv6 Rx Packets A count of all IPv6 packets received
meeting filter criteria since starting the
test.
IPv6 Tx Packets A count of IPv6 packets transmitted
since starting the test. This result does
not appear when running the Monitor
application.
Multicast Frames The number of Ethernet multicast
frames received since starting the test.
Multicast Packets The number of multicast IP packets
received since starting the test.
Pause Frames A count of pause frames received from
a remote Ethernet device since starting
the test. Pause frames are utilized for
flow control and alert the transmitting
device that it must reduce the outgoing
frame rate or risk a receiver overflow on
the far end, resulting in dropped traffic.
Rx Acterna Frames A count of received Acterna frames,
excluding errored frames since starting
the test.
