Hi Igor,

There has been a discussion on list recently involving ixgbe stats, and certain
packets triggering multiple stats registers - the datasheet doesn't mention
this could be the case for the mspdc register, I will research this issue and
get back to you.

The rte_eth_stats struct presents the most general statistics that every NIC exposes.
In 2.1, and extended statistics API was added which allows NICs to expose stats
that are unique to that NIC. Currently ixgbe is the only driver that has the xstats API
implemented, I am working on patches to implement the functionality for the other
Intel drivers.
As part of testing the xstats implementation for each driver, I can test the exact
behavior of the mspdc counter, and if it is mis-counted this should become clear.
Cheers, -Harry
