Description

MAC Address

MAC Address is the reported MAC address of the Ethernet network
interface card (NIC) card in the server. Since a server may contain
more than one NIC, identifying exactly which NIC is being used by
the device driver may help you to identify and resolve problems.

Frames Out

Frames Out is the count of the number of frames output by the device
driver through the identified network interface. This includes all
administrative, data, and control frames, and should be incriminated
whenever the DeviceMaster and the device driver are operating, even
if the DeviceMaster is idle.

Frames
Accepted

Frames Accepted is the count of the number of received frames
accepted by the device driver for further processing. These must be
well-formed packets with the correct protocol identifiers for the device
driver.

Frames Passed
On

Frames Passed On is when a NIC receives a packet, it passes the
packet around to each driver or application that is bound to the NIC
until one of them recognizes and accepts the packet.

Adapter 1 ID
String

Adapter 1 ID String is the NIC binding string. Every network entity
that needs to be uniquely identified has a Globally Unique Identifier
(GUID), which is used to form unique binding strings. The presence of
this string indicates that the device driver has been bound to a
specific NIC.
