Observation.

Two instances of testpmd.  Only one report shows correct stats when you run
16 queues on RX with the default RSS config.
i.e rss-ip , rss-udp etc.  You only see the counter for a single queue.

How I know I took last report on first intestine test-pmd at the end of
run, take all bytes added. I know time I run compute pps
correlated to the PPS in the actual switch.

so either ICEN or IAVF doesn't report stats (only for queue 0)
