Data Structures for Driversgld_stats(9S)


NAME

 gld_stats - Generic LAN Driver statistics data structure

SYNOPSIS

 
#include <sys/gld.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

 

Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).

DESCRIPTION

 

The Generic LAN Driver (GLD) statistics (gld_stats) structure is used to communicate statistics and state information from a GLD-based driver to GLD when returning from a driver's gldm_get_stats() routine as discussed in gld(9E) and gld(7D). The members of this structure, filled in by the GLD-based driver, are used when GLD reports the statistics. In the tables below, the name of the statistics variable reported by GLD is noted in the comments. See gld(7D) for a more detailed description of the meaning of each statistic.

Drivers can make no assumptions about the length of this structure, which might be different in different releases of Solaris and/or GLD. Structure members private to GLD, not documented here, should not be set or read by the device specific driver.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

 

The following structure members are defined for all media types:

 
uint64_t        glds_speed;                         /* ifspeed */
uint32_t        glds_media;                         /* media */

uint32_t        glds_dot3_first_coll;               /* first_collisions */
uint32_t        glds_dot3_multi_coll;               /* multi_collisions */
uint32_t        glds_dot3_sqe_error;                /* sqe_errors */
uint32_t        glds_dot3_mac_xmt_error;            /* macxmt_errors */

uint32_t        glds_dot5_line_error                /* line_errors */
uint32_t        glds_dot5_burst_error               /* burst_errors */

uint32_t        glds_dot5_ace_error                 /* ace_errors */
uint32_t        glds_dot5_internal_error            /* internal_errors */
uint32_t        glds_dot5_lost_frame_error          /* lost_frame_errors */

uint32_t        glds_fddi_mac_ring_op;              /* mac_ring_ops */

Most of the above statistics variables are counters denoting the number of times the particular event was observed. Exceptions are:

glds_speed
An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second. For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth.
glds_media
The type of media (wiring) or connector used by the hardware. Currently supported media names include GLDM_AUI, GLDM_BNC, GLDM_TP, GLDM_10BT, GLDM_100BT, GLDM_100BTX, GLDM_100BT4, GLDM_RING4, GLDM_RING16, GLDM_FIBER, and GLDM_PHYMII. GLDM_UNKNOWN can also be specified.
glds_duplex
Current duplex state of the interface. Supported values are GLD_DUPLEX_HALF and GLD_DUPLEX_FULL. GLD_DUPLEX_UNKNOWN can also be specified.
