+Statistics
+==========
+
+Following device statistics are available through the ``ethtool -S`` interface:
+
+.. flat-table:: NFP device statistics
+ :header-rows: 1
+ :widths: 3 1 11
+
+ * - Name
+ - ID
+ - Meaning
+
+ * - dev_rx_discards
+ - 1
+ - Packet can be discarded on the RX path for one of the following reasons:
+
+ * The NIC is not in promisc mode, and the destination MAC address
+ doesn't match the interfaces' MAC address.
+ * The received packet is larger than the max buffer size on the host.
+ I.e. it exceeds the Layer 3 MRU.
+ * There is no freelist descriptor available on the host for the packet.
+ It is likely that the NIC couldn't cache one in time.
+ * A BPF program discarded the packet.
+ * The datapath drop action was executed.
+ * The MAC discarded the packet due to lack of ingress buffer space
+ on the NIC.
+
+ * - dev_rx_errors
+ - 2
+ - A packet can be counted (and dropped) as RX error for the following
+ reasons:
+
+ * A problem with the VEB lookup (only when SR-IOV is used).
+ * A physical layer problem that causes Ethernet errors, like FCS or
+ alignment errors. The cause is usually faulty cables or SFPs.
+
+ * - dev_rx_bytes
+ - 3
+ - Total number of bytes received.
+
+ * - dev_rx_uc_bytes
+ - 4
+ - Unicast bytes received.
+
+ * - dev_rx_mc_bytes
+ - 5
+ - Multicast bytes received.
+
+ * - dev_rx_bc_bytes
+ - 6
+ - Broadcast bytes received.
+
+ * - dev_rx_pkts
+ - 7
+ - Total number of packets received.
+
+ * - dev_rx_mc_pkts
+ - 8
+ - Multicast packets received.
+
+ * - dev_rx_bc_pkts
+ - 9
+ - Broadcast packets received.
+
+ * - dev_tx_discards
+ - 10
+ - A packet can be discarded in the TX direction if the MAC is
+ being flow controlled and the NIC runs out of TX queue space.
+
+ * - dev_tx_errors
+ - 11
+ - A packet can be counted as TX error (and dropped) for one for the
+ following reasons:
+
+ * The packet is an LSO segment, but the Layer 3 or Layer 4 offset
+ could not be determined. Therefore LSO could not continue.
+ * An invalid packet descriptor was received over PCIe.
+ * The packet Layer 3 length exceeds the device MTU.
+ * An error on the MAC/physical layer. Usually due to faulty cables or
+ SFPs.
+ * A CTM buffer could not be allocated.
+ * The packet offset was incorrect and could not be fixed by the NIC.
+
+ * - dev_tx_bytes
+ - 12
+ - Total number of bytes transmitted.
+
+ * - dev_tx_uc_bytes
+ - 13
+ - Unicast bytes transmitted.
+
+ * - dev_tx_mc_bytes
+ - 14
+ - Multicast bytes transmitted.
+
+ * - dev_tx_bc_bytes
+ - 15
+ - Broadcast bytes transmitted.
+
+ * - dev_tx_pkts
+ - 16
+ - Total number of packets transmitted.
+
+ * - dev_tx_mc_pkts
+ - 17
+ - Multicast packets transmitted.
+
+ * - dev_tx_bc_pkts
+ - 18
+ - Broadcast packets transmitted.
+
+Note that statistics unknown to the driver will be displayed as
+``dev_unknown_stat$ID``, where ``$ID`` refers to the second column
+above.
