An ARP or RARP request is a request to determine the Ethernet number of a
host, whose IP address has been given for a terminal-to-host connection

been sent to, or received from, the Office Server:

RARP:

- received: number of received RARP frames.
- bad-type: wrong frames.
- bad-len: frame length errors.
- replies-in: responses to RARP requests sent from the Office

Server.

- request-out: RARP requests sent from the Office Server.

ARP:

- received: number of received ARP frames.
- bad-type: wrong frames.
- request-in: ARP requests received by the Office Server.
- replies-in: responses to ARP requests sent from the Office Server.
- request-out: ARP requests sent from the Office Server.

Next, all recognised 'IP Address/Ethernet Address' associations are listed
with the following parameters (ARP table):

- IP addr: IP address
- Type: Ethernet
- Time: number of seconds before this table entry will be dropped
- Q: number of frames which are waiting for address resolution (Ethernet

address is 'unknown')

- Addr: Ethernet address associated with the IP address

c - IP Statistics

- total: frames sent to, or received from, the Office Server
- runt: number of received frames with a truncated (too short) header

- version-err: version errors
- chksum-err: checksum errors
