Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/4] tools: ynltool: add traffic distribution balance
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2025 08:22:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251107162227.980672-5-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251107162227.980672-1-kuba@kernel.org>
The main if not only use case for per-queue stats today is checking
for traffic imbalance. Add simple traffic balance analysis to qstats.
$ ynltool qstat balance
eth0 rx 44 queues:
rx-packets : cv=6.9% ns=24.2% stddev=512006493
min=6278921110 max=8011570575 mean=7437054644
rx-bytes : cv=6.9% ns=24.1% stddev=759670503060
min=9326315769440 max=11884393670786 mean=11035439201354
...
$ ynltool -j qstat balance | jq
