Transmitted
-
Packets: Number of packets transmitted.
-
Dropped: Number of transmitted packets that were dropped.
-
Errors: Number of packets with transmission errors. This can be caused by loss of carrier, no heartbeat, late collision, too many retransmissions (too many collisions when transmitting a packet).

Collisions: Collisions indicate how many times two stations tried to use the network simultaneously. A small number of collisions is normal. A large number of collisions indicates that not enough bandwidth exists to support the traffic on the network. This may be caused by connecting too many client stations to the network, or by one or more client stations performing continuous large data transfers. Either reduce the number of client stations, or reduce the amount of traffic being carried by the network. You could also define user quotas to limit the amount of traffic
