Packets Received (1024 to Max Bytes) Count
PRC1522 (04070h; R)
This register counts the number of good packets received that are from 1024 bytes to the maximum
(from <Destination Address> through <CRC>, inclusively) in length. The maximum is dependent
(from <Destination Address> through <CRC>, inclusively) in length. The maximum is dependent
on the current receiver configuration and the type of packet being received. If a packet is counted in
Receive Oversized Count, it is not counted in this register (see
). This register does
not include received flow control packets and only increments if the packet has passed address
filtering and receives are enabled.
Due to changes in the standard for maximum frame size for VLAN tagged frames in IEEE
Standard 802.3, these Ethernet controllers accept packets which have a maximum length of 1522
bytes. The RMON statistics associated with this range has been extended to count 1522-byte long
bytes. The RMON statistics associated with this range has been extended to count 1522-byte long
packets.

Good Packets Received Count
GPRC (04074h; R)
This register counts the number of good packets received of any legal length. The legal length for
the received packet is defined by the value of LongPacketEnable (CTRL.LPE) (see
). This register does not include received flow control packets and only counts packets that
pass filtering. This register only increments if receives are enabled. This register does not count
packets counted by the Missed Packet Count (MPC) register.
