MEMBERS
  dot5StatsLineErrors
      Specifies the number of times that either of the following conditions
      are detected:

	·
	A frame or token is copied or repeated by a station.

	·
	The E bit is 0 (zero) in the frame or token, and one of the following
	conditions exists:

	     --
	     A nondata bit (J or K bit) exists between the SD and the ED of
	     the frame or token.

	     --
	     The frame contains an FCS error.

  dot5StatsBurstErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station detects the absence of
      transitions for five half-bit timers or burst-five errors.

  dot5StatsACErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station receives an AMP or SMP
      frame in which A is equal to C is equal to 0 (zero), and then receives
      another SMP frame with A is equal to C is equal to 0 (zero) without
      first receiving an AMP frame. It denotes a station that cannot set the
      AC bits properly.

  dot5StatsAbortTransErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station transmits an abort
      delimiter while transmitting.

  dot5StatsInternalErrors
      Specifies the number of internal errors that have occurred.

  dot5StatsLostFrameErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station's TRR timer has expired
      during a transmit operation. This counter can indicate when a
      transmitting station in strip mode does not receive the trailer of the
      frame before the TRR timer goes off.

  dot5StatsReceiveCongestions
      Specifies the number of times that the station recognizes a frame
      addressed to its address, but has no available buffer space. This
      counter can indicate when the station is congested.

  dot5StatsFrameCopiedErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station has recognized a frame
      addressed to its address and detects that the FS field A bits are set
      to 1.  This counter can indicate a line hit or duplicate address.

  dot5StatsTokenErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station, acting as the active
      monitor, recognizes an error condition that needs a token transmitted.

  dot5StatsSoftErrors
      Specifies the number of soft errors that the station has detected. It
      directly corresponds to the number of report error media access (MAC)
      frames that this station has transmitted. Soft errors are recoverable
      by the MAC layer protocols.

  dot5StatsHardErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station has detected an
      immediately recoverable fatal error.  It denotes the number of times
      that this interface is either transmitting or receiving beacon MAC
      frames.

  dot5StatsSignalLoss
      Specifies the number of times that the station has detected the loss of
      the signal condition from the ring.

  dot5StatsTransmitBeacons
      Specifies the number of times that the station has transmitted a beacon
      frame.

  dot5StatsRecoverys
      Specifies the number of claim token MAC frames received or transmitted
      after the station has received a ring purge MAC frame.  This counter
      signifies the number of times that the ring has been purged and is
      being recovered back into a normal operating state.

  dot5StatsLobeWires
      Specifies the number of times that the station has detected an open or
      short circuit in the lobe data path.  When this occurs, the adapter is
      closed and the dot5RingState member of the dot5Entry structure is set
      to MIB1231_RSTAT_CLOSED.

  dot5StatsRemoves
      Specifies the number of times that the station has received a remove
      ring station MAC frame request.  When this frame is received, the
      station enters the closed state and the driver sets the dot5RingState
      member of the dot5Entry structure to MIB1231_RSTAT_CLOSED.

  dot5StatsSingles
      Specifies the number of times that the station has sensed that it is
      the only station on the ring.  This happens when the station is the
      first one up on a ring or when there is a hardware problem.

  dot5StatsFreqErrors
      Specifies the number of times that the station has detected that the
      frequency of the incoming signal differs too much from the expected
      frequency.

DESCRIPTION
  The dot5Entry data structure contains the counters for a Token Ring network
  interface, according to RFC 1231 in the IEEE 802.5 Token Ring MIB. The
  SIOCRDCTRS and SIOCRDZCTRS  ioctl commands use this data structure to
  return information to a user process.
