First, our HW can count only the packages and not also the bytes,
unfortunately. Also we use the flag 'skip_sw' when we add the rules in
this case the statistics look OK.
If the user doesn't use the skip_sw then the statistics will look
something like this (using command: tc -s filter show dev eth0 ingress):
Action statistics:
Sent 92 bytes 4 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
Sent software 92 bytes 2 pkt
Sent hardware 0 bytes 2 pkt
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
used_hw_stats immediate
As you see there are different counters for SW and Hw statistics.

Good to know this.

I will try to have a look at this.
