The advanced Statistics screen displays the following additional statistics:
Send
•
Send Rate: This field reports the adapter’s current transmit rate.
• Unicast Bytes Sent: This statistic reports the total number of bytes contained in
the unicast packets transmitted by the adapter.
• Multicast Bytes Sent: This statistic reports the total number of bytes contained in
the multicast packets transmitted by the adapter.
• Single Retries: After the adapter sends a packet, it waits for an acknowledgment
from the receiving radio to confirm that the packet was successfully received. If
an acknowledgment is not received within a fixed period of time, the adapter will
retransmit the packet. This statistic reports the number of packets that required
one retry before the adapter received an acknowledgment.
• Multiple Retries: This statistic reports the number of packets that required more
than one retry before the adapter received an acknowledgment.
• Excessive Retries: This statistic reports the number of packets that were not suc-
cessfully transmitted because the adapter did not receive an acknowledgment
within the maximum number of retries.
