hi there,

        I am having some problems with netstat and monitor utilities on
osf/1 machines. I did a ftp transfer of 50M file between 2 machines over
the network and on one of the machine I did netstat -i 2 to display the
network statistics. it showed me about 40% packets in collisions.
I did the same thing with the monitor also and got the same results.
when our network staff looked into this with their tool monitoring the
hub directly, they report no collisions on the wire. how can this be
possible. is there any problem with thre two programs in terms of reporting
or is there a problem in the kernel itself?.

Any idea's on what can I do to chekc for the correct stats on the wire.

Thanks
rakesh
