ECG043/1097 INTEGRATION NOTE (cont.) 4... INTRODUCTION The Compaq network interface controller (NIC) drivers provide a number of statistics to aid in the diagnosis of network problems. These statistics can be viewed with MONITOR.NLM. Information such as Packets Received and Packets Sent are common to every protocol and are reported for every controller. Others like Collisions or Beacons are particular to one protocol or another (Ethernet and Token Ring, respectively). The statistics supplement the diagnostic information that would normally be obtained with a protocol analyzer or network monitor and give an estimate of network and controller activity. Most of these statistics will increase during normal operation. Occasional errors do not necessarily indicate a problem.

NTRODUCTION
The Compaq network interface controller (NIC) drivers provide a number of statistics to aid in
the diagnosis of network problems.
These statistics can be viewed with MONITOR.NLM.
Information such as Packets Received and Packets Sent are common to every protocol and are
reported for every controller.
Others like Collisions or Beacons are particular to one protocol or
another (Ethernet and Token Ring, respectively).
The statistics supplement the diagnostic
information that would normally be obtained with a protocol analyzer or network monitor and
give an estimate of network and controller activity.
Most of these statistics will increase during
normal operation.
Occasional errors do not necessarily indicate a problem.
