Router Connection Statistics

rvrd displays statistics about the performance of a neighbor connection on this page.

To display this page, click the Link Stats column of the Connected Neighbors page.

Note 

Connection statistics are not available when neighbors connect using TLS.

Item

Description

summary

This list presents static information about the neighbor connection.

Router Name

The name of the local router. (See also Routing Table Entry.)

Neighbor Name

The name of the neighbor (remote router).

Interface Number

The name of the (local) neighbor interface that specifies the neighbor connection. rvrd generated this number automatically when you configured the neighbor interface, and incorporates it into the neighbor ID.

Local Port

TCP port that this router uses to communicate with the neighbor.

Remote Port

TCP port that the neighbor (remote router) uses to communicate with the local router.

Cost

Path cost of the neighbor link.

SSL Connection

TLS security feature for the neighbor link.

Data Compression

Data compression feature for the neighbor link.

When a connection uses TLS with data compression, then compression statistics are not available (because TLS does the compression). For background information, see Data Compression, and SSL Connection with Compression.

Backlog Limit

When backlog protection is enabled, this item displays the threshold for disconnect from the neighbor. See Backlog Protection.

Data Flow

This table displays statistics about the volume of data on the neighbor connection.

The Inbound row displays statistics about inbound data from the remote neighbor to the local router.

The Outbound row displays statistics about outbound data from the local router to the remote neighbor.

Messages

Cumulative count of messages.

Bytes

Cumulative count of bytes (without compression).

Bytes/Sec

Data transmission rate during the most recent interval.

Compr Bytes

Cumulative count of compressed bytes.

This item displays non-zero only when both of the neighbors specify data compression on the Add New Neighbor Interface.

Compr Ratio

Compression ratio.

This item displays non-zero only when both of the neighbors specify data compression on the Add New Neighbor Interface.

Miscellaneous Statistics

This table displays statistics not related to either inbound or outbound data transmission.

Peak Backlog

Peak backlog of outbound data (in bytes) since the last reset of statistics. See also, Backlog Protection.

Curr Backlog

Current backlog of outbound data (in bytes). See also, Backlog Protection.

Reconnects

Cumulative count of times when the neighbor link became disconnected and subsequently reconnected. (For example, network failure or backlog protection could cause a disconnect.)

Total Inbound

Total Outbound

Cumulative counts of inbound and outbound bytes (without compression) since the start of the neighbor connection. The Reset Statistics button does not affect these items.

Reset Statistics

Click this button to reset statistical counters to zero.
