Description Kevin Traynor 2020-01-14 11:33:49 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1762725 +++

During TX in netdev-dpdk in OVS, there is a pkt drop counter but there are different reasons why that counter may be incremented:

- Drops due to egress policing
- Drops due to MTU exceeded
- Drops reported from the DPDK PMD Tx function

There is a proposed patch upstream [1] that adds the above as more fine grained custom stats for dpdk and vhost ports.

This Bz is to help with upstreaming of that patch and possible backport to downstream.
