> There is a problem with the current stats being inconsistent. The problem is
> that the net threads each have their own stats which they modify and the
> aggregation thread also modifies the same stat value. There is no proper
> synchronization for this to work correctly. The aggregation thread does an
> atomic swap to zero the net threads stat value, but the local thread doesn't
> use atomics and only increments the value. This will lead to
> inconsistencies...
> A better design is to *only* have the net threads modify their local stats
> and have the aggregation thread handle totalling the values in a separate
> stat structure.
