NWLink NetBIOS Object

The NWLink NetBIOS performance object consists of counters that monitor IPX transport rates and connections.

Piggyback Ack Timeouts

Piggyback Ack Timeouts is the number of times that a piggyback acknowledgment could not be sent because there was no outgoing packet to the remote on which to piggyback. A piggyback ack is an acknowledgment to a received packet that is sent along in an outgoing data packet to the remote computer. If no outgoing packet is sent within the time-out period, then an ack packet is sent and this counter is incremented.
