689.0. "Why do you get DATA OVERRUN?" by WLW::SEITZ (The system is a Network) Tue Sep 01 1992 23:20

    I recieved a call from a customer this afternoon asking the meaning of
    the DATA OVERRUN counter. It seems he just turned on the ELMS poller
    and noticed this counter incrementing on all his concentrators port 1.
    
    He apparently believes it easier to call me and ask rather than look
    this up in the manuals and I don't have a copy of the manuals. Could
    someone enter the definition for DATA OVERRUN counter incrementing.
    Also, if you could also suggest reasons why this counter would be
    incrementing please comment.
    
    Thanks,
    Mike

689.1	couldn't find DATA OVERRUN counter	BAGELS::LEVY		`Wed Sep 02 1992 09:38`	4
	There is a DECelms concentrator line counter called RECEIVE OVERRUN. Its description: The number of times that the wiring concentrator received a frame loss indication from the hardware on the line.

	Curious... Either someone is blasting the concentrator with floods of frames addressed TO IT (possibly broadcasts) or its hardware is broken. paul
