RSS Receive Packets The number of receive packets that were suitable for RSS.
Transmit Flow Control Pause
Requests The number of times the network adapter sent a PAUSE frame to
request that the peer stop sending data temporarily. This
indicates a potential bottleneck in the system. Typically, this
bottleneck is the result of the DMA of packets from the adapter to
host memory.
Receive Flow Control Pause
Requests The number of times the network adapter received a PAUSE frame
from the peer. This indicates a potential bottleneck in the
attached switch or network peer device. This statistic only
increments when the switch is correctly configured for flow
control.
TCP Offloads Current Established The current number of TCP connections offloaded to the adapter's
TOE.
TCP Offloads The total number of TCP connections that have been offloaded
since the last statistics reset, or the driver was reloaded.
TCP Offload Retransmits The number of packets retransmitted for TCP offloaded
connections.
TCP Offload Receive Drops The number of packets dropped by in the offloaded TCP stack.
These drops may the result of TCP protocol errors or bottlenecks
in the system for consuming receive data.
TCP Offload Transmit Rate The transmit data rate of the offloaded TCP connections. This is
the portion of the total “Transmit Throughput” contributed by
offloaded TCP connections.
TCP Offload Receive Rate The receive data rate of the offloaded TCP connections.
VMQs Allocated The current number of Virtual Machine Queues allocated.
Interrupt Rate The number of interrupts per second generated by the adapter.
The interrupt rate may be tuned by modifying the Interrupt
Moderation parameter.
