> The empty poll stats are being shown always (even if there were no empty polls). The check 'nb_pkts == 0' indicates that the burst stats are for empty polls. Hence this assignment is required. But, this can be moved out of the loop to provide clarity. I will do that.

It is not required because of 'memset' above, we know 'nb_pkt == 0' and we know
'pktnb_stats[0] == 0', so "pktnb_stats[0] = nb_pkt;" is redundant.

I got that, again because of memset, "burst_stats[0] == 0", you can skip
"burst_stats[0] = nb_burst;" in case "nb_burst == 0", that is why you can move
it up.

Anyway, both are trivial issues ...
