OUT-Multicast Frames The number of successfully transmitted frames whose destination address
was a multicast address (received by more that one station): not necessarily
broadcast to all stations, but more than a single station. Broadcast messages
are included in the count.
OUT-Fragments The number of successful transmissions made. This will typically be greater
than the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are
broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is
based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable).
OUT-Frames after one or more
retries The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one
retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would
increment this counter for the whole frame.
OUT-Dropped Frames, too many
retries The number of frames that did not transmit due to the short or long retry
limit being reached because no acknowledgement or CTS was received.
IN-Unicast Frames The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a
single location, not necessarily the same location, but to any single location
as opposed to the broadcast address.
IN-Multicast Frames The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a
multicast address. Broadcast messages are included in this count.
IN-Fragments The number of fragments successfully received. This may not be equal to the
sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken
into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on
the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable) on the source
station.
IN-Frames after one or more
retrie The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one
retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would
increment this counter for the whole frame.
IN-Drops due to insufficient Rx
buffers The number of received frames discarded due to lack of buffer space.
