Description

capture.kernel_packets    | RxPFReth37                | 1806428468
capture.kernel_drops      | RxPFReth37                | 2230924712
capture.kernel_packets    | RxPFReth38                | 3802555588
capture.kernel_drops      | RxPFReth38                | 1286117
....

The result above could have some explanation, but to me it looks misleading. How can you drop more packets than you actually have? (RxPFReth37)

In case the above means that the incrementing is independent of each other ( a dropped packet is +1 counter only on kernel_drops and not the kernel_packet counter ), this is different than the way that af_packet packet statistics are written in stats.log.

The two should be consistent, if this is purposefully meant to be like that and it is not a bug.

Thanks
