Collection Services data files: QAPMETH
This database file includes Ethernet file entries and lists the fields in the Ethernet file.
Ethernet LAN protocol statistics are reported for the active Ethernet line descriptions that are associated with Ethernet ports and with asynchronous transfer mode ports that support Ethernet LAN emulation.
There will be one record per line per port per interval. Port resource name should be used to uniquely associate records across intervals.
