These names follow the names of the statistics found in the databook
for the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) soft IP. I'm not
emotionally attached to these names, so will review the statistics

I'll pick this up while reviewing and updating the stats names.
Thank you for taking the time to review and provide constructive
comments. I'll address these and respin.
All the best,
