# View OAM Statistics

**To view a summary of the statistics of each OAM instance**

1. Access the page **OAM ▶Statistics**.
2. For detailed OAM statistics, click the OAM instance **Name** in the list.

For more information on specific parameters, refer to the following tables.

**OAM Statistics (OAM ▶Statistics)**

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Name | The name given to the OAM instance. |
| Rcv OAMPDU | The number of OAMPDUs received by this instance, all types combined: info, var request, var response, loopback etc. |
| Txm OAMPDU | The number of OAMPDUs transmitted by this instance, all types combined: info, var request, var response, loopback etc. |
| Rcv Info OAMPDUs | The number of Info OAMPDUs received by this instance. |
| Txm Info OAMPDUs | The number of Info OAMPDUs transmitted by this instance. |

**Receive**

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Unsupported Codes | A count of OAMPDUs received that contain an OAM code that is not supported by the device. This counter is incremented upon reception of a valid frame with the following: - *Destination* field value equal to the reserved multicast address for slow protocols. - *Length Or Type* field value equal to the reserved Type for slow protocols. - A *slow protocols* subtype equal to the subtype reserved for OAM. - An *OAMPDU code* for a function that is not supported by the device. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Information | A count of OAMPDUs received that contain the OAM Information code. This counter is incremented upon reception of a valid frame with the following: - *Destination* field value equal to the reserved multicast address for slow protocols. - *Length Or Type* field value equal to the reserved Type for slow protocols. - A *slow protocols* subtype equal to the subtype reserved for OAM. - An *OAMPDU code* for a function that is not supported by the device. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Loopback Control | A count of OAMPDUs received that contain the Loopback Control code. This counter is incremented upon reception of a valid frame with the following:*Length Or Type* field value equal to the reserved Type for slow protocols.A *slow protocols* subtype equal to the subtype reserved for OAM.An *OAMPDU code* for a function that is not supported by the device. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Variable Request | A count of OAMPDUs received that contain the Variable Request code. This counter is incremented upon reception of a valid frame with the following: *Length Or Type* field value equal to the reserved Type for slow protocols.A *slow protocols* subtype equal to the subtype reserved for OAM.An *OAMPDU code* for a function that is not supported by the device. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Variable Response | A count of OAMPDUs received that contain the Variable Response code. This counter is incremented upon reception of a valid frame with the following: *Length Or Type* field value equal to the reserved Type for slow protocols.A *slow protocols* subtype equal to the subtype reserved for OAM.An *OAMPDU code* for a function that is not supported by the device. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Organization Specific | A count of OAMPDUs received that contain the Organization Specific code. This counter is incremented upon reception of a valid frame, with: *Length Or Type* field value equal to the reserved Type for slow protocols.A *slow protocols* subtype equal to the subtype reserved for OAM.An *OAMPDU code* for a function that is not supported by the device. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |

**Transmit**

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Unsupported Codes | A count of transmitted OAMPDUs that have unsupported codes. This counter is incremented when a request service primitive is generated within the OAM sublayer with an OAM code for afunction that is not supported by the device. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Information | A count of transmitted OAMPDUs containing the OAM Information code. This counter is incremented when a request service primitive is generated within the OAM sublayer with an OAMPDU code indicating an Information OAMPDU. Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Unique Event | A count of transmitted OAMPDUs containing the OAM Unique Event code. This counter is incremented when a request service primitive is generated within the OAM sublayer. - A *Slow_Protocols* subtype equal to the subtype reserved for OAM. - The *OAMPDU code* equals the Event Notification code. - The *Sequence Number* is not equal to the Sequence Number of the last transmitted Event Notification OAMPDU. - Bullet - Bullet Generalized and non-resettable, this counter has a maximum increment rate for slow protocol frames: no more than 10 frames are transmitted in any one-second period. |
| Duplicate Event | A count of transmitted OAMPDUs containing the OAM Duplicate Event code. This counter is incremented when a request service primitive is generated within the OAM sublayer. - The *OAMPDU code* equals the Event Notification code. - The *Sequence Number* is equal to the Sequence Number of the last transmitted Event Notification OAMPDU.
