Because there is no named "netdev" type interface on the host side, you need to use the MAC address of the interface when calling virDomainInterfaceStats(). Unfortunately, the method used to get the stats for these interfaces (see the commit log for details) isn't supported by all SRIOV netdev drivers. The Intel 82559 I have uses the igb driver, which doesn't support it, so all the stats show up as "0". Even the ixgbe driver doesn't support it. According to the commit log if you have a sufficiently new (but not *too* new!) Mellanox card, then you may be in luck.
