PcapDroppedPackets

Measurement Group: IPFE Exception

Measurement Type: Simple

Description: ARP/ICMP/ICMPv6 control packets dropped. The pcap library listens for packets on the network interfaces on behalf of the IPFE. If the network interface receives more packets than it can handle, the library will drop packets and increase a dropped packet counter.

Collection Interval: 5 minutes

Peg Condition: This measurement is incremented by one each time the IPFE drops an ARP/ICMP/ICMPv6 control packet.

Measurement Scope: Network, NE, Server Group

Recovery:

  1. In the unlikely event that counts should appear for this measurement, network diagnostics should be performed.
