Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2007 10:20:08 -0700 From: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@...com> To: Linux Network Development list <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: a maze of twisty stats, most different 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? rick jones - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
