APF Statistics Definitions

The following table describes GigaSMART operations statistics for APF:

 

Statistic

Description

The number of packets matching the GigaSMART pass rules.

Rule Not Match

The number of packets not matching any GigaSMART rules in the map.

Masking Err

The number of masking errors in the map. This number is usually zero (0), which indicates no issues with the masking operation. If the number is non-zero, it indicates there is some issue with the masking operation.

ASF Statistics Definitions

The following table describes GigaSMART operations statistics for ASF:

 

Statistic

Description

Session Created

The number of sessions created.

Session Deleted

The number of sessions deleted.

Session Timeout

The number of sessions that were deleted due to inactivity (expiry of the session timer).

Session Matched (pkt)

The number of incoming packets matching ASF sessions. This count does not include the packets that triggered the creation of the session.

Exceed Count Drop

The number of packets dropped, even if they matched a flow session, because a packet-count was configured and exceeded.

Masking Statistics Definitions

The following table describes GigaSMART operations statistics for masking:

 

Statistic

Description

No Header

The number of packets with no configured masking protocol.

Too Short

The number of packets with a length less than the masking offset.

Slicing Statistics Definitions

The following table describes GigaSMART operations statistics for slicing:

 

Statistic

Description

No Header

The number of packets with no configured header for slicing.

Too Short

The number of packets with a length less than the slicing length.

Min Len

The number of packets that are sliced to less than 64 bytes.

Header Stripping Statistics Definitions

The following table describes GigaSMART operations statistics for header stripping:

 

Statistic

Description

Id No Hit

The number of packets that do not match the configured VXLAN ID to be stripped.

Fm 6000 Pkts Ts

The number of packets received with the FM6000 timestamp.

Unknown Next

The number of packets not stripped of their configured header type as the packets will have an unknown header after the header is stripped.

No Header

The number of packets with no configured header type to be stripped.

Fm 6000 Data Pkt Too Big

The number of FM6000 packets that are larger than 9600 bytes after the timestamp trailer is added. These packets will be dropped.

Fm 6000 Keyframe Overdue

The number of FM6000 key frames that are overdue. By default, the key frame rate is 1 packet per second. If a key frame is not received in 1 second, this statistic is incremented.

Fm 6000 Keyframe

The number of key frames received from the FM6000 device. Key frames are marker packets that carry information to convert the FM6000 timestamp to UTC time.

Generic Header Stripping Statistics Definitions

The following table describes GigaSMART operations statistics for generic header stripping:

 

Statistic

Description

first_anchor_header_not_present

The number of packets with no configured first anchor header.

offset_beyond_anchor_header_size

The number of packets that are not stripped as the configured offset size exceeds the size of the first anchor header.

second_anchor_header_not_present

The number of packets with no configured second anchor header.

strip_length_beyond_pkt_len

The number of packets that are not stripped as the configured strip length exceeds the packet length.

strip_success

The number of packets that are successfully stripped.

incompatible_anchor_headers

The number of packets that are dropped as the first anchor header is incompatible with the second anchor header after the stripping operation is complete.

Trailer Statistics Definitions

The following table describes GigaSMART operations statistics for trailers:

 

Statistic

Description

pkts_too_big

The number of packets for which the size of the packet has become greater than the maximum supported size (9600) when adding the trailer. This count is incremented with one trailer added to the packet.

FlowVUE Statistics Definitions

Dev Ip No Match

The number of packets with a source and destination IP that does not match any of the ranges defined in the GigaSMART parameters (gsparams).

Dev Ip Non Ip

The number of packets with no IP headers (and hence, not sampled).
