The number of packets deferred before transmission:
This counter contains the number of packets whose
transmission was delayed on its first attempt
because the medium was busy.  Packets involved
in any collisions are not counted.  Frames
that wait before transmission are counted.
This statistic will be incremented often during
normal operation on a busy network.
              
Deferred transmissions occur when the network
is extremely busy; so busy that the NIC did
not try to transmit.  High counts of multiple
collisions and excessive collisions also occur.
              
Deferred transmissions indicate that this segment
of the LAN is overcrowded.  Reduce the traffic
by reorganizing the LAN.  For example, if you
have 100 stations on one Ethernet bus, break it
into two Ethernet segments by adding a NIC to
your server.  In this way you can balance the
load by putting 50 stations on one segment and
50 on the other.  If a few isolated stations
create the traffic, put them on a separate segment.
