Description
The number of multicast packets that were received successfully.
The number of broadcast packets that were received successfully.
The number of unicast packets that were received successfully.
The number of bytes of data that were received successfully.
The number of beacon packets that were received successfully.
The number of times the client adapter started to receive an
802.11 Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) header but
the rest of the packet was ignored due to a cyclic redundancy
check (CRC) error in the header.
CRC errors can be attributed to packet collisions
Note
caused by a dense population of client adapters,
overlapping access point coverage on a channel, high
multipath conditions due to bounced signals, or the
presence of other 2.4-GHz signals from devices such
as microwave ovens, wireless handset phones, etc.
