Hi All
RFC 2665 defines "dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors" as a implementation dependent counter for errors while receiving an ethernet frame.
Intel defines this error as follows: RMII_FRM_ALN_ERROR || XTRA_BYTE || LEN_ERR
|| RX_LATE_COLL || (MII_FRM_ALN_ERR &&
!FCS_ERR)
I am seeing that this counter is incrementing on my intel ixp platform. However, I do not fully understand the meaning of "XTRA_BYTE" reason for this counter.
Please help in finding out the reasons for which intel will increment this counter.
Regards VG
