3646.0. "Counter: Frames in/sec?" by NBOFS1::JAKOB () Fri Jun 21 1996 05:30

    
    
    
    
    Hello,
    
    what can it mean, when on the FDDI-port on the EF-Switch (configured
    to the FDDI-Backbone on the HUB-Backplane in LAN-Interconnect) the
    counter 'frames in/sec' is very high (about 90.000)?
    
    I've installed a FDDI-Probe to the ring and with PROBEwatch I can see
    an utilization of about 8% and a peak of 14%. 
    The speedometer in HUBwatch tells an utilization of 20-50%.
    
    
    Where do the high frame-rate come from?
    Why can the probe not see this high frame-rate?
    What's about the different utilization-rate?
    
    Can you give me some hints?
    
    Thanks

3646.1Meter is wrongNETCAD::ARGOTue Jun 25 1996 16:405
Hi.  The utilization meter is wrong.  We've spent some time in trying to
figure out why.  I could be the chip.  We're not certain.  However, until
further notice, please ignore the utilizaiton meter.

3646.2Statement for customer...NBOFS1::JAKOBWed Jun 26 1996 09:2219
    
    
    Hi Dennis,
    
    thank you for the helpful answer but what can I say to the customer?
    
    'The HUBwatch-Software is faulty,...???"
    
    Will it be corrected in the next release?
    
    
    Can you tell me?
    
    
    
    Thanks
