I think you are fighting a lost battle there. As evident from the timing constraints on packet processing in a 10/40G you will have a hard time to process data if the packets are of regular ethernet size. And we alrady have 100G NICs in operation here. We can try to get the performance as high as possible but full rate high speed networking invariable must use offload mechanisms and thus the statistics would only be available from the hardware devices that can do wire speed processing. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
