In the above case, it's roughly 516 events, which sounds perfectly healthy and normal. I say roughly, because there's no way to take a consistent, global snapshot of all xstats counters. You will see a higher value than this on dev_credits_on_loan, because the ports will borrow (and return) credits in chunks of 64 to the shared pool, for efficiently reasons. > However when I dump some of the data structure counters it doesn’t appear to be stuck. What may be going on? I'm guessing it doesn't appear stuck because it's not stuck. /M
