Probably something in your app or environment rather than in the API
itself. We run rte_eth_stats_get() against interfaces in VMware Fusion,
VirtualBox and real hardware and they all work generally.

Need some info before anyone can help you much:

* What version of DPDK are you running?
* What OS are you running on?
* Output from "dpdk_nic_bind.py --status"?
