Network Interface Overview (PI_NETI)

Function

The Network Interface Overview (PI_NETI) stores the performance data per unit time on the rate of data and packet transfer made via TCP/IP connection and the number of various types of errors that occurred in the TCP/IP connection.

This is a multi-instance record.

Notes:

In an environment that uses both IPv4 and IPv6, consolidated IPv4 and IPv6 information is collected.

Default values and values that can be specified

Item Default value Modifiable

Collection Interval 60 Yes

Collection Offset 0 Yes

Log No Yes

LOGIF Blank Yes

Item	Default value	Modifiable

Fields

PFM-View name
(PFM-Manager name) Description Summary Format Delta Not Supported versions Data source

Bytes Rcvd/sec(BYTES_RECEIVED_PER_SEC) Rate at which data was received through the network interface (bytes/second). AVG float No -- --

Bytes Sent/sec(BYTES_SENT_PER_SEC) Rate at which data was sent through the network interface (bytes/second). AVG float No -- --

Bytes Total/sec(BYTES_TOTAL_PER_SEC) Rate at which data was sent/received through the network interface (bytes/second). AVG float No -- --

Current Bandwidth(CURRENT_BANDWIDTH) Estimated network interface bandwidth (bits/second). If the bandwidth was stable or an accurate bandwidth estimate could not be obtained, the field shows an estimated nominal bandwidth (bits/second). # AVG ulong No 2008 (x86),
2008 (x64) --

Instance(INSTANCE) Instance name for the network.
The instance name is a loopback address (127.0.0.1), NIC, or dial-out WAN wrapper for each device. It is displayed in the order of TCP/IP protocol binding (loopback is always the first) as follows:
- Driver name for NIC COPY string(256) No -- --

Interval(INTERVAL) Collection interval during which the record was stored (seconds).
For a real-time report, the first value is 5. If records are summarized into a historical report, the last stored value is displayed. COPY ulong No -- RECORD_TIME (T1) - RECORD_TIME (T0)

Interval2(INTERVAL2) Collection interval during which the record was stored (seconds).
For a real-time report, the first value is 5. If records are summarized into a historical report, the total of the summarized records is displayed. ADD ulong No -- RECORD_TIME (T1) - RECORD_TIME (T0)

Output Queue Length(OUTPUT_QUEUE_LENGTH) Length of the outbound packet queue (number of packets). This field always shows 0 because the NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) puts the requests in the queue. # AVG ulong No -- --

Pkts Outbound Discarded(PACKETS_OUTBOUND_DISCARDED) Number of outbound packets selected for discarding by emptying the buffer area, even though no error preventing transmission was detected following the OS startup. # AVG ulong No -- --

Pkts Outbound Errors(PACKETS_OUTBOUND_ERRORS) Number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted due to an error following the OS startup. # AVG ulong No -- --

Pkts Rcvd Discarded(PACKETS_RECEIVED_DISCARDED) Number of received packets selected for discarding by emptying the buffer area, even though no error preventing transfer to an upper-layer protocol was detected following the OS startup. # AVG ulong No -- --

Pkts Rcvd Errors(PACKETS_RECEIVED_ERRORS) Number of received packets containing an error preventing transfer to an upper-layer protocol following the OS startup. # AVG ulong No -- --

Pkts Rcvd Non-Unicast/sec(PACKETS_REC_NON_UNICAST_PER_SEC) Rate at which non-unicast (subnet broadcast or subnet multicast) packets are transferred to an upper-layer protocol (packets/second). AVG float No -- --

Pkts Rcvd Unicast/sec(PACKETS_REC_UNICAST_PER_SEC) Rate at which subnet unicast packets are transferred to an upper-layer protocol (packets/second). AVG float No -- --

Pkts Rcvd Unknown(PACKETS_RECEIVED_UNKNOWN) Number of packets that were received through the network interface but were discarded due to an unknown or unsupported protocol following the OS startup. # AVG ulong No -- --

Pkts Rcvd/sec(PACKETS_RECEIVED_PER_SEC) Rate at which packets were received through the network interface (packets/second). AVG float No -- --

Pkts Sent Non-Unicast/sec(PACKETS_SENT_NON_UNICAST_PER_SEC) Rate at which packets were transferred by an upper-layer protocol to non-unicast (subnet broadcast or subnet multicast) addresses (packets/second). AVG float No -- --

Pkts Sent Unicast/sec(PACKETS_SENT_UNICAST_PER_SEC) Rate at which packets were transferred by an upper-layer protocol to subnet unicast addresses (packets/second). AVG float No -- --

Pkts Sent/sec(PACKETS_SENT_PER_SEC) Rate at which packets were sent through the network interface (packets/second). AVG float No -- --

Pkts/sec(PACKETS_PER_SEC) Rate at which packets were sent/received through the network interface (packets/second). AVG float No -- --

Record Time(RECORD_TIME) Time at which the record was created. COPY time_t No -- --

Record Type(INPUT_RECORD_TYPE) Record name. Always NETI. COPY char(8) No -- --
