Internal shared memory (ISM) interface statistics record (subtype 45)

The ISM Interface statistics record is collected at user specified intervals. The record provides data for ISM interfaces only, one interface specific section for one ISM interface. Any interface in the process of being deleted from the stack at the time of interval reporting is ignored.

Each interface specific section reports statistical data about the ISM interface for the previous recording interval. For those fields that provide an interval value, to determine a cumulative value for the given statistic, add the values reported for the statistic in the individual interface statistics interval records. Other fields provide the current or highest value of a statistic and are not interval values. If interface statistics recording is turned off dynamically, or the TCP stack terminates, a final ISM interface statistics record is generated to report close-out data.

See Table 1 for the contents of the TCP/IP stack identification section. For the ISM interface statistics record, the TCP/IP stack identification section indicates SMCD as the subcomponent and one of the six possible interval record reason settings, depending on whether the reporting is due to interval expiration, statistics collection termination, or collection shutdown.

X'80': PNetID provided
If on, SMF119DM_ISPNetID contains the Physical network ID.
X'40': Associated ISM interface
This flag applies to only active ISM interfaces. If set, this ISM interface is associated with those active IPAQIDIO, IPAQIDIO6, IPAQENET and IPAQENET6 interfaces that have all of the following attributes:
  • The interface is defined by the INTERFACE statement, and for IPAQENET and IPAQENET6 with CHIPTYPE OSD.
  • The interface is enabled for SMC-D.
  • The SMF119DM_ISPNetID value reported for the ISM interface matches the SMF119IS_IFPNetID value reported for the OSD, or HiperSockets interface.
