Subject: a maze of twisty stats, most different
Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2007 10:20:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46829C48.6080005@hp.com> (raw)
It seems that every driver, when providing support for ethtool -S
functionality, has considerable lattitude when it comes to the stats
provided. Clearly this is very nice for the driver writer(s) as it
allows them to provide whatever stats they feel are most "natural" for
their NIC(s) and name them as they see fit.
However :)
From the standpoint of someone looking from the outside, say someone
wanting to consume ethtool -S statistics, it seems to be a big jumble.
Might there be a way to bring those two camps together? Is there
already, with the same wide availabilty of ethtool, and I've just not
seen it?
