detected on a particular interface later than
one slotTime into the transmission of a packet.
A (late) collision included in a count
represented by an instance of this object is
also considered as a (generic) collision for
purposes of other collision-related statistics.
This counter does not increment when the
interface is operating in full-duplex mode.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can
occur at re-initialization of the management
system, and at other times as indicated by the
value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
Excess Collisions
Frames
A count of frames for which transmission on a
particular interface fails due to excessive
collisions. This counter does not increment
when the interface is operating in full-duplex
mode. Discontinuities in the value of this
counter can occur at re-initialization of the
management system, and at other times as
indicated by the value of
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
Mac Tx Errors Frames
A count of frames for which transmission on a
particular interface fails due to an internal MAC
sublayer transmit error. A frame is only
counted by an instance of this object if it is not
counted by the corresponding instance of
either the dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions object, or the
dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors object. The
precise meaning of the count represented by
an instance of this object is implementation-
specific. In particular, an instance of this
object may represent a count of transmission
errors on a particular interface that are not
otherwise counted. For interfaces operating at
10 Gb/s, this counter can roll over in less than
5 minutes if it is incrementing at its maximum
rate. Since that amount of time could be less
than a management station's poll cycle time, in
order to avoid a loss of information, a
management station is advised to poll the
dot3HCStatsInternalMacTransmitErrors object
for 10 Gb/s or faster interfaces. Discontinuities
in the value of this counter can occur at re-
initialization of the management system, and at
other times as indicated by the value of
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
Carrier Sense Errors
The number of times that the carrier sense
condition was lost or never asserted when
attempting to transmit a frame on a particular
interface. The count represented by an
instance of this object is incremented at most
once per transmission attempt, even if the
carrier sense condition fluctuates during a
transmission attempt. This counter does not
increment when the interface is operating in
full-duplex mode. Discontinuities in the value of
this counter can occur at re-initialization of the
management system, and at other times as
indicated by the value of
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
Too Long Frames
A count of frames received on a particular
interface that exceed the maximum permitted
frame size. The count represented by an
instance of this object is incremented when the
frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC
service to the LLC (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error
conditions pertain are, according to the
conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer
