Hi,
- According to 802.3 Layer Management when multiple errors are detected in frame received only one status is retruned to LLC in descending order:
- frameTooLong
- alignmentError
- frameCheckError
- lengthError
but in RFC 1757 are statistics: etherStatsOversizePkts - packets with frame too long error and with no other errors. So how can be known that no other errors are in the frame when only one status is/should be returned and frame too long is received? Aren't 802.3 and RFC 1757 in this point just incompatible?
- Can anyone give me clear explanation of (from RFC 1643): "Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtain are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC."
"...counted exclusively.." - does it mean that when alignment error and length error exist in the same frame only the alignment error counter is incremented?
thanks
Michal
