Gigabit Ethernet Interface Statistics Collection Method at Distribution Processing High-Speed Router

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for collecting statistical information in a fast router system is provided to collect and report relevant information when a system operator or a network manager requests GE(Gigabit Ethernet) ethernet interface statistical information, in a distributed processing fast router system that a control processor exists in the inside of each GE interface. CONSTITUTION: If a system is started, the system executes data initialization for GE interface statistical collection(S01) and enters an idle state(S02). If a GE interface statistical collection command is received through an operator terminal(S03), the system analyzes a GE card and a port number(S04), sets the frequency of the output of statistical information and the period of output time(S05), and judges what type of data the operator wants to collect(S06). If the data type is Tx(Transmit), the system collects transmitting counter information(S07). If the data type is Rx(Receive), the system collects receiving counter information(S08). In case that the data type is All, the system collects both transmitting counter information and receiving counter information(S09,S10). Then the system formats the collected data properly(S11) and outputs a GE interface statistical collection result to the operator(S12).
