Ok, no problem. I'll mark the link-status patch rejected in Patchwork. I've just sent the Keepalive patchset, patch #3 is of interest regarding this discussion: http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/10003/ It adds a function to the API for collecting xstats, meaning it doesn't pollute the rte_eth_xstats_get() output. I'm interested to hear the communities view of this approach. Regards, -Harry
