1473.0. "show statistics problem" by NYANC::ENG () Mon Sep 09 1991 20:40

    I got an error when showing statistics.  This is the command from
    iconic map:
    
    show statistics node4 2.31 line SVA-0
    Domain: DSP_NS:.nyb
    
    error: cannot locate services required information for comuting
    statistics.
    
    I have no problem in showing counters, characteristics on the same
    line.  Please advise.

Did you try doing the same command from the FCL?

This usually means that the protocol for the line is not available
and so PA cannot compute statistics. Some implementations of DECnet
do not return the protocol information. 

Please do a SHOW LINE ALL CHARAC to verify that the protocol is indeed
not available. In the next version, PA will try to infer the protocol
and calculate statistics.

Just a comment. DECnet overhead is typically less than 5% for most
networks. Considering we are only dealing with a portion (datalink) of this 
overhead it may make sense to simply "plug" in at least the value of the 
smallest known datalink's overhead. This is of course only if the protocol 
can't be determined. It would allow PA to maintain a proximity of accuracy 
and make the product more robust from the customers' point of view.
