Packet Transmission
The
Packet Transmission section stores information about packets that are sent from the CPU to the distant
CPU.
Total Packets Transmitted
The
Total Packets Transmitted field counts and stores the total number of packets that the CPU sends to the
distant CPU across the wireless link. This number represents all transmitted packets.
Average Transmit Rate (Packets/Sec.)
Sometimes packets are transmitted more rapidly than at other times. The maximum transmit rate for 64-
bit frames is approximately 14,600fps (frames per second). The
Average Transmit Rate field indicates the
average number of packets sent each second. Typical networks range from 100 to 5000 frames
transmitted each second, and will vary with time. If you observe the rate consistently higher than
10,000 fps, you may have broadcast storms on your 10BaseT Network segment. These broadcast storms
can be caused, for example, by a defective Network Interface Card or too many IPX Network stations
sending broadcasts on the same network segment at the same time.
