Frame Relay Line Vital Statistics

Network Vital Statistics provide real-time measures of network conditions to

present a statistical picture of what is happening on the network links as

depicted in figure 13. Working simultaneously with decodes, filters and other

measurements the Vital Statistics feature interprets data traffic as it occurs.

This feature can be used to identify network problems or to assist the user in

optimizing the configuration on network components and software. Vital

Statistics are gathered in intervals of 1-second. Values may also be logged to

disk.

Values in the Vital Statistics display are presented in tabular form and are

cumulative from the start of a test. Instantaneous utilization is displayed in

graphical format for a quick look at overall usage of the network. The

following values are provided for both the Line (Network) side and the

Equipment (User) side:

•Max., min., and avg. utilization (%)

•Max., min., inst., and avg. throughput in kb/s

•Total octets (bytes)

•Total frames/packets

•Short frames/packets

•Abort frames/packets

•FCS errors
