When this counter is not advancing, the SW/HW might be stuck. Meaning, either the SW is not processing the receive requests or the HW is not using the post receives. To check the state of WQ/CQ, check the error events log messages.

Average packet count per indicate

The average of the handled send packets per indicate calls to NDIS. The average is the number of packets completed /number of indicates to NDIS.

Packets in low resource mode

When a forced low resource (Regestry ForceLowResourcesIndication is 1, when the default is 0) or the number of outstanding post receive is lower than the minimum number of RFDs configured (Regestry is NicMinRfds).

Packets processed in interrupt mode

The number of packets indicated to NDIS during interrupt. The counter progresses as the argument “NumberOfNetBufferLists” in the function "NdisMIndicateReceiveNetBufferLists" progresses when it is called during interrupt handling.

Packets processed in polling mode

The number of packets indicated to NDIS while in polling mode.

Consumed max receives

Number of times the driver processed the number of packets that is higher than the maximum calls to NDIS Indicate (the value shown in REgestry MaxCallsToNdisIndicate). When this counter progresses, the driver stops processing any more packets.

Note: The counters “Packets processed in polling mode” and “Packets processed in interrupt mode” also progress accordingly.

Number of traffic profile transitions

Number of times the core’s Receive Queue changed traffic Latency/ Throughput.

DpcWatchDog (SingleDpc) Starvation

The number of times the driver had watchdog starvation during DPC and re-submitted a DPC. When this counter progresses, DPC does not process any packets, meaning counters 6-10 will not progress.

DpcWatchDog (TotalDpc) Starvation

The number of times the driver had watchdog starvation during DPC and moved to. When this counter progresses, DPC does not process any packets, meaning counters 6-10 will not progress.

Drops due to completion queue errors

The number of Receive Drops Due To Cqe Errors.

Interrupts on incorrect cpu

The number of received interrupts on a wrong CPU. In this case, the driver re-submits a DPC on the correct CPU.

Number of interrupts

Number of Receive Datapath interrupts.

Strided Wqes

The number of Wqes that its strides are consumed by the HW. They should progress only if StridingRQ feature is enabled (check in Regestry StridingRqEnabled).

Counters: For every N > 0 packets received, the packetsCounter should be incremented by N. The wqe counter can be incremented by [upper bound(N/number of strides in wqe) ,N].

Ecn Marked Packets (Ipv4)

The number of times the driver marked an IPv4 packet with ECN.

Ecn Marked Packets (Ipv6)

The number of times the driver marked an IPv6 packet with ECN.

Packets processed in NDIS poll mode

When the feature is enabled, counter for “Packets processed in Interrupt mode” or “Packets processed in poll mode” are not counters incremented.

Cpu Number

The CPU where the driver process the queue completions.

Transmit ring is full

Counts the time the transmit ring was full during sends.

Transmit copy packets

Counts the number of times a packet should be copied during sends. This could happen in case a packet has a size larger than supported by the HW.

Number of packets posted

The number of send requests that have been forwarded to the HW, (packets that are pending aren’t counted).

Number of packets completed

Counts the number of processed and completed sends, when it progress, the resources allocated to the sent packet is freed.

OS call to build SGL failed

The LSO header size cannot be received if SKB allocation fails or the packet has an invalid size.

Drops due to invalid packet size

Number of packets with invalid size, “OS call to build SGL failed” counter should also progress in this case.

Number of packets posted in bypass mode

Number of packets detected by driver as forwarded.

Average packet count per indicate

The average of the handled send packets per indicate calls to NDIS. The average is the number of packets completed /number of indicates to NDIS.

Interrupts on incorrect cpu

The number of times the TX received a completion on the wrong CPU. In such case, the driver re-submits a DCP on the correct CPU.

CQ Overrun

Number of times a CQ entered an error state due to overflow. Overflow occurs when the device tries to post a CQE into a full CQ buffer.

RX Error Lane0 phy

The number error bits on lane 0

RX Error Lane0 phy/Sec

The rate of changing of the lane 0 counter

RX Error Lane1 phy

The number error bits on lane 1

RX Error Lane1 phy/Sec

The rate of changing of the lane 1 counter

RX Error Lane2 phy

The number error bits on lane 2

RX Error Lane2 phy/Sec

The rate of changing of the lane 2 counter

RX Error Lane3 phy

The number error bits on lane 3

RX Error Lane3 phy/Sec

The rate of changing of the lane 3 counter

RX Kbits phy

The total amount of traffic that could have been received on the port

RX Kbits phy/Sec

The rate of changing of the above counter

RX PCS Corrected Bits phy

The number of symbol errors that wasn't corrected by FEC correction algorithm or that FEC algorithm was not active on this interface

RX PCS Corrected Bits phy/Sec

The rate of changing of the above counter

RX PCS Symbol Error phy

The number of corrected bits on this port according to active FEC (RS/FC).

If this counter is increasing, it implies that the link between the NIC and the network is suffering from high BER

RX PCS Symbol Error phy/Sec

The rate of changing of the above counter
