Packet Mode
The Frame Relay traffic parameters displayed for each DLCI are:
DLCI - The DLCI to which this line of statistics applies. “Etc” is the summation
of all unlisted DLCIs and “Sum” is the summation of all DLCIs.
RxPkts & TxPkts - Count of packets received (Rx) and of packets sent (Tx).
NOTE: Measurement Packets (Delay, Loss and Link Test) are included in
the RxPkts and TxPkts counts of the NetPath originating the packets.
Measurement Packets are included only in the RxPkts count of a NetPath
looping (receiving and returning) Measurement Packets.
BECN & FECN - Count of packets with the BECN or FECN bit set, up
to 65,535.
RxDE & TxDE - Count of packets received (Rx) with the DE bit set and count of
packets sent (Tx) with the DE bit set, up to 65,535 (does not include time
Measurement Packets).
Delay (mS) Avg & Max - Average and Maximum delay of Delay measurement
Packets received back from a distant NetPath unit. These values are
overwritten with 9999 during an interval where PVC “Drpd Mon Pkt Alarm”
has been detected for that specific PVC. These values are set to “0” (zero)
for PVCs not designated for the sending of Delay monitor packets. These
values will freeze (not update) and Delay and Loss measurement packets
(for ALL
PVCs) are halted, while a “Test Pkts to Netw” test is performed.
PVCs are displayed and added as follows:
WAN Management PVC and PVCs added to the PVC List (on the PVC
Performance Configuration Screen, up to a total of 270) are always displayed.
Additional PVCs are included in the “Etc” PVC, which is also always displayed.
With LMI Protocol set to “None”-
A PVC will be added to the display if data is received from the network on
that PVC and it is not on the PVC List, and there are less than 270 PVCs
already displayed. It will be included in the “Etc” PVC if 270 PVCs are
already displayed. If data is transmitted to the network on a PVC that is not
on the PVC List, it is included in the “Etc” PVC.
With LMI Protocol not set to “None”-
A PVC will be added to the display if it is reported in a Full LMI Status
Report from the network and it is not on the PVC List, and there are less than
270 PVCs already displayed. It will be included in the “Etc” PVC if 270
PVCs are already displayed. A PVC will also be included in the “Etc” PVC,
if data is received or transmitted on that PVC and it is not on the PVC List
and is not reported in a Full LMI Status Report.
