Subject: Re: [Bugme-new] [Bug 10600] New: e1000 updates rx_bytes infrequently
Date: Mon, 05 May 2008 18:55:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <481F9E64.6070606@acm.org> (raw)

Perhaps userspace needs a way to tweak the update frequency? Or perhaps
the driver needs a way to tell userspace what update frequency it should
expect? Without some kind of coordination, we have the present silly
situation: userspace network activity monitors are checking rx_bytes
more frequently than could possibly be useful.
Do different Ethernet drivers update rx_bytes at the same rate? Or is
this completely ad hoc?
