Network Send Collisions (Collisions)
Description
This parameter displays the percentage of output attempts by the selected host that resulted in an Ethernet collision. Collisions are an indicator of network load. A small percentage of collisions are normal, but a high percentage indicates an overloaded network segment.
Recommendations
If the value of collisions is consistently higher than 10%, your network is overloaded and should be reorganized to reduce traffic. One way to accomplish this is to restructure your network into two or more subnetworks. No range thresholds have been set by default. While 10% is often a good rule of thumb, depending on how the network is used you may be able or willing to tolerate more collisions. With the combination of your experience with your system, your system's work load, and your system's documentation, you can determine appropriate range thresholds.
