Description of problem: Need non-packet counters like pmd stats to be published via ovsdb
Aaron, I'm reviewing this BZ, and can you state a bit more why you want these in the DB and how often they should be updated? Asking this as we have other BZs where people complain about the inconsistency of the "real-time" stats and the data in the DB. Also what kind of data do you want in, just PMD stats (guess the stuff from the ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-perf-show, which has a time stamp, and duration)? Anything else?
