Hi All, Currently libvirt does not support networks interface stats for <interface type='hostdev'>. With availability of switchdev model in linux, it is possible to capture stats for SR-IOV VFs on host using its VF representor interface on host for nics supporting switchdev model. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/networking/sw... I want to preapre a patch supporting this feature for hostdev and write some function like 'virHostdevSwitchdevVfRepresentorInterfaceStats' for returning stats. Should I include this function and supporting methods in src/util/virhostdev.c or should i include it in new file something like src/util/virswitchdev.c .

Thanks Daniel for the feedback. On Wed, Jan 31, 2018 at 5:07 PM, Daniel P.
