May indicate issues + with NIC. These counters include Ethernet traffic counters (including Raw + Ethernet) and RDMA/RoCE traffic counters. + +Physical port counters + Counters that collect statistics about the PFs and VFs. May indicate issues + with NIC, link, or network. This measuring point holds information on + standardized counters like IEEE 802.3, RFC2863, RFC 2819, RFC 3635 and + additional counters like flow control, FEC and more. Physical port counters + are not exposed to virtual machines. + +Priority Port Counters + A set of the physical port counters, per priority per port. + +Types +===== + +Counters are divided into three types. + +Traffic Informative Counters + Counters which count traffic. These counters can be used for load estimation + or for general debug. + +Traffic Acceleration Counters + Counters which count traffic that was accelerated by Mellanox driver or by + hardware. The counters are an additional layer to the informative counter set, + and the same traffic is counted in both informative and acceleration counters. + +.. [#accel] Traffic acceleration counter. + +Error Counters + Increment of these counters might indicate a problem. Each of these counters + has an explanation and correction action. + +Statistic can be fetched via the `ip link` or `ethtool` commands. `ethtool` +provides more detailed information.:: + + ip –s link show <if-name> + ethtool -S <if-name> + +Descriptions +============ + +XSK, PTP, and QoS counters that are similar to counters defined previously will +not be separately listed. For example, `ptp_tx[i]_packets` will not be +explicitly documented since `tx[i]_packets` describes the behavior of both +counters, except `ptp_tx[i]_packets` is only counted when precision time +protocol is used. + +Ring / Netdev Counter +---------------------------- +The following counters are available per ring or software port. + +These counters provide information on the amount of traffic that was accelerated +by the NIC. The counters are counting the accelerated traffic in addition to the +standard counters which counts it (i.e. accelerated traffic is counted twice). + +The counter names in the table below refers to both ring and port counters. The +notation for ring counters includes the [i] index without the braces. The +notation for port counters doesn't include the [i]. A counter name +`rx[i]_packets` will be printed as `rx0_packets` for ring 0 and `rx_packets` for +the software port. + +.. flat-table:: Ring / Software Port Counter Table + :widths: 2 3 1 + + * - Counter + - Description + - Type + + * - `rx[i]_packets` + - The number of packets received on ring i. + - Informative + + * - `rx[i]_bytes` + - The number of bytes received on ring i. + - Informative + + * - `tx[i]_packets` + - The number of packets transmitted on ring i. + - Informative + + * - `tx[i]_bytes` + - The number of bytes transmitted on ring i. + - Informative + + * - `tx[i]_recover` + - The number of times the SQ was recovered. + - Error + + * - `tx[i]_cqes` + - Number of CQEs events on SQ issued on ring i. + - Informative + + * - `tx[i]_cqe_err` + - The number of error CQEs encountered on the SQ for ring i. + - Error + + * - `tx[i]_tso_packets` + - The number of TSO packets transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. + - Acceleration + + * - `tx[i]_tso_bytes` + - The number of TSO bytes transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. + - Acceleration + + * - `tx[i]_tso_inner_packets` + - The number of TSO packets which are indicated to be carry internal + encapsulation transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. + - Acceleration + + * - `tx[i]_tso_inner_bytes` + - The number of TSO bytes which are indicated to be carry internal + encapsulation transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. + - Acceleration + + * - `rx[i]_gro_packets` + - Number of received packets processed using hardware-accelerated GRO.
