Chapter 3: Operation System statisticsPage 3-61o Ave Pkt Size – Average size of the packets transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface forthis LUID over the collection intervalo discards – Number of packets to be transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for thisLUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF Out Queue was fullo discards % – Percent of the total packets to be transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interfacefor this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF Out Queuewas full.Interpreting Overload statisticsThe Statistics > Overload page displays statistics on packet overload and resultant packet discards.Unlike the other fields, the Total Packets Overload Count is expressed in only this page. It is not a countof how many packets have been lost, but rather of how many discard events (packet loss bursts) havebeen detected due to overload condition.This statistics page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) and explained in Table 141.Table 141 Overload page attributes – AP/SM/BHM/BHSAttribute MeaningTotal PacketsOverload CountThis field represents the sum of all RF and Ethernet in/out discards.Ethernet In Discards This field represents the number of packets tossed due to the Ethernetqueue being full. If a climb in this stat accompanies a climb in RF OutDiscards stat, then most likely the board is at RF capacity either due totraffic exceeding the RF pipe, or interference temporarily limiting the RFthroughput. If this stat climbs without the RF Out Discards stat climbing,then the radio is most likely PPS limited.
