I agree. I think IFLA_STATS64 in RTM_NEWLINK should contain statistics of all the packets seen by the netdev. The breakdown into software / hardware / XDP should be reported via RTM_NEWSTATS. Currently, for soft devices such as VLANs, bridges and GRE, user space only sees statistics of packets forwarded by software, which is quite useless when forwarding is offloaded from the kernel to hardware. Petr is working on exposing hardware statistics for such devices via rtnetlink. Unlike XDP (?), we need to be able to let user space enable / disable hardware statistics as we have a limited number of hardware counters and they can also reduce the bandwidth when enabled. We are thinking of adding a new RTM_SETSTATS for that: # ip stats set dev swp1 hw_stats on For query, something like (under discussion): # ip stats show dev swp1 // all groups # ip stats show dev swp1 group link # ip stats show dev swp1 group offload // all sub-groups # ip stats show dev swp1 group offload sub-group cpu # ip stats show dev swp1 group offload sub-group hw Like other iproute2 commands, these follow the nesting of the RTM_{NEW,GET}STATS uAPI. Looking at patch #1 [1], I think that whatever you decide to expose for XDP can be queried via: # ip stats show dev swp1 group xdp # ip stats show dev swp1 group xdp sub-group regular # ip stats show dev swp1 group xdp sub-group xsk Regardless, the following command should show statistics of all the packets seen by the netdev: # ip -s link show dev swp1 There is a PR [2] for node_exporter to use rtnetlink to fetch netdev statistics instead of the old proc interface. It should be possible to extend it to use RTM_*STATS for more fine-grained statistics.
