It is a pity that such a basic feature is not supported. We should try to have this kind of feature better supported across every drivers. [Shahaf Shuler] there is a patch we are pushing which will enable to read the xstats from a secondary process: [PATCH] net/mlx5: support extended statistics 2017-01-10 08:43, Shahaf Shuler: > supporting this functionality is not on the plans. Please could you re-consider the plans? It should not be so difficult to give access to the stats from a secondary process. [Shahaf Shuler] DPDK secondary process much conflict with Mellanox Arch. we will put this task on our plans.
