I may be wrong, but shan't drops and discards contribute to 'imissed' instead?
According to [1], 'ipackets' is 'Total number of successfully received packets', and per-queue version of 'ipackets' also exists, hinting at the host Rx nature.

[1] https://doc.dpdk.org/api-25.07/structrte__eth__stats.html#ac14b69830000494630c8897b70c5fc54

And if, say, they contribute to 'imissed', then no update to the 'ibytes'?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, -- I really prefer just to clarify this.

Thank you.

Hi,

To clarify - the packets we're accounting for were dropped intentionally due to user-defined "drop" rules (intentional) not due to errors.
Since the drop is deliberate, not due to resource issues or errors, we account them in ipackets and ibytes, not imissed.

Thanks.
