Network interface based statistics

Edit online
The following table shows the supported field name for the network interface based statistics. These fields are specific to the network interface instances. The network interface based statistics can be accessed in synchronous and asynchronous modes. The Network interface based statistics can be accessed as "__stat.net.interface.<en0...n>->fieldname"
Table 1. Network interface based statistics
Vue script field name Data type Description
mtu unsigned long long Maximum transmission unit. The maximum size of packets in bytes, that are transmitted using the interface.
flags unsigned long long Interface flag. This flag can have following values:
  • IFF_UP
  • IFF_BROADCAST
  • IFF_DEBUG
  • IFF_LOOPBACK
  • IFF_POINTOPOINT
  • IFF_VIPA
  • IFF_NOTRAILERS
  • IFF_RUNNING
  • IFF_PROMISC
  • IFF_NOARP
These values are available as symbolic constants.
Note: Not all possible interface flag values are defined, and hence there might be other options present in the value.
type unsigned int Interface type. This field can have following values:
  • IFT_ETHER
  • IFT_IB
  • IFT_LOOP
  • IFT_FDDI
  • IFT_ISO88023
  • IFT_ATM
  • IFT_OTHER
  • IFT_TUNNEL
These values are available as symbolic constants.
Note: Not all possible interface flag values are defined, and hence there might be other options present in the value.
ipackets unsigned long long The number of packets received on this network interface.
ibytes unsigned long long The number of bytes received on this network interface.
ierrors unsigned long long The number of input errors. For example, malformed packets, checksum errors, or insufficient buffer space in the device driver.
opackets unsigned long long The number of packets transmitted on this network interface.
obytes unsigned long long The number of bytes transmitted on this network interface.
oerrors unsigned long long The number of output errors. For example, a fault in the local host connection or adapter output queue overrun.
collisions unsigned long long The number of packet collisions detected on carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) interfaces.
if_arpdrops unsigned long long Dropped because no Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) response.
if_iqdrops unsigned long long Number of times packet dropped at the time of data reception on this network interface.
index unsigned int Interface index number.
tx_mcasts unsigned long long The number of multicast packets transmitted on this network interface.
rx_mcasts unsigned long long The number of multicast packets received on this network interface.
no_proto unsigned long long Unsupported protocol.
bitrate unsigned int Bitrate as the rate at which data is sent on the wire.
dev_num unsigned long long Device Number.
options unsigned int Options field. This field can have following values:
  • IFO_FLUSH
  • IFO_HIGHFUNC_QOS
  • IFO_MEDFUNC_QOS
  • IFO_MINFUNC_QOS
  • IFO_QOS
  • IFO_THREAD
  • IFO_LARGESEND
  • IFO_PKTCHAIN
  • IFO_AACCT
  • IFO_MONITOR
  • IFO_VIRTUAL_ETHERNET
  • IFO_CSO_IPV6
  • IFO_LSO_IPV6
  • IFO_PARTIAL_CSO_IPV6
  • IFO_PARTIAL_CSO_IPV4
  • IFO_RNIC
  • IFO_FIRSTALIAS
  • IFO_PSEUDO_CLUSTER
These values are available as symbolic constants.
Note: Not all possible interface option values are defined, and hence there might be other options present in the value.
