It depends on what type of collisions, and whether or not your device
can report the various cases (or finding out what they are called).
Collisions aren't that horrible. They get requeued for transmission.
Deferred transmits occur when a packet is read to be transmitted but

The network would be considered unhealthy if it is experiencing more

.1% of packets colliding (do the math
There is a book written by Scott Haugdahl called Network Analysis and
Troubleshooting ISBN 0201433192
and he has a pretty good discussion on collisions, there are lots of factors
that go into the number (length of the segment, number of users, etc) but I
think that above 5% was where he'd start

Yes, you will always have some collisions on a shared medium like Ethernet (obviously I'm not included a switched environment). The general guideline is that for IP you should have no more than 500 hosts on a flat network segment; IPX

what does it take to shut a port down (errDisable) take a look at this

Hi ,
How can I find out the collision rate of .1% ( comparing the collisions with Output packets or bytes)
Here's the output from my ethernet interface
119069488 packets output, 3373784736 bytes, 0 underruns
31 output errors
6 matches
