STATISTICS

The STATISTICS structure provides statistics for the capture. Some of these statistics are generated by Network Monitor, while others are generated by the NIC that the NPP is connected to.

Members

• TimeElapsed
  Elapsed time, in microseconds.
• TotalFramesCaptured
  Total number of frames currently stored. This number is limited by the size of the capture file or buffer used to store the frames.
• TotalBytesCaptured
  Total number of bytes currently stored. This number is limited by the size of the capture file or buffer used to store the frames.
• TotalFramesFiltered
  Total number of frames that passed through the current capture filter. If a filter is not used, this value is the same as TotalFramesSeen.
• TotalBytesFiltered
  Total number of frames that passed through the current capture filter. If a filter is not used, this value is the same as TotalBytesSeen.
• TotalMulticastsFiltered
  This member is obsolete.
• TotalBroadcastsFiltered
  This member is obsolete.
• TotalFramesSeen
  Total number of frames handled by the NIC.
• TotalBytesSeen
  Total number of bytes handled by the NIC.
• TotalMulticastsReceived
  This member is obsolete.
• TotalBroadcastsReceived
  This member is obsolete.
• TotalFramesDropped
  Total number of frames dropped (frames that passed the filter but were not saved).
• TotalFramesDroppedFromBuffer
  Number of frames dropped from the capture file or buffer. When the buffer is full, older frames are removed to make room for new ones.
• MacFramesReceived
  Number of frames that the NIC reports having received.
• MacCRCErrors
  Number of CRC errors reported by the NIC.
• MacBytesReceivedEx
  Number of bytes that the NIC reports having received.
• MacFramesDropped_NoBuffers
  Number of frames that the NIC reports having dropped due to a lack of buffer space.
• MacMulticastsReceived
  Number of multicasts the NIC reports having received.
• MacBroadcastsReceived
  Number of broadcasts the NIC reports having received.
• MacFramesDropped_HwError
  Number of frames the NIC reports as having dropped due to hardware errors.

Remarks

This structure is used to retrieve total statistics, and to pause or stop the current capture.

Total statistics cannot be retrieved when using the IESP NPP interface.
