NAME

6       ieee802.11 - 802.11 kernel statistics
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This  page  describes the kernel statistics that can be used to monitor
10       attributes specific to the 802.11 physical layer. These statistics  can
11       be  retrieved  using kstat(1M). Not all 802.11 devices will support all
12       statistics.
13
14       tx_frags        Count of data and management fragments transmitted.
15
16
17       rx_frags        Count of data and management fragments received.
18
19
20       rx_dups         Count of  duplicate  frames  received.  Duplicates  are
21                       determined by the sequence control field.
22
23
24       mcast_tx        Count of broadcast and multicast frames transmitted.
25
26
27       mcast_rx        Count of broadcast and multicast frames received.
28
29
30       tx_failed       Count  of  frames  that could not be transmitted due to
31                       the retransmission limit being reached.
32
33
34       tx_retrans      Count of frames successfully retransmitted after one or
35                       more retransmissions.
36
37
38       tx_reretrans    Count  of  frames successfully retransmitted after more
39                       than one retransmission.
40
41
42       rts_success     Count of times a CTS was received  in  response  to  an
43                       RTS.
44
45
46       rts_failure      Count  of  times a CTS was not received in response to
47                       an RTS.
48
49
50       ack_failure     Count  of  times  an  ACK  was  expected  but  was  not
51                       received.
52
53
54       fcs_errors      Count of frames received with FCS errors.
55
56
57       wep_errors      Count  of frames received with the WEP bit set but that
58                       either should not have been encrypted or that were dis‐
59                       carded due to WEP not being supported.
