Have you looked into the telemetry library and it's socket interface for getting stats? If you run e.g. testpmd with --telemetry you can view stats using the dpdk-telemetry-client.py script in usertools. There is also some enhancments to telemetry proposed, which might be of interest to you too, since it allows easier querying of the stats: http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=8987
