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.

Fields
PFM-View name (PFM - Manager name name) | Description | Smry | Format | Delta | Not sprtd on | 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 | -- | -- |
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 | -- | -- |
