Hi Google, While playing with RPS, I needed to read stats from /proc/net/softnet_stat and the tools I could find [1] and [2] was not very good.
I lack of better, I coded up my own tool softnet_stat.pl here: https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/blob/master/bin/softnet_stat.pl The output format/columns in /proc/net/softnet_stat is undocumented, plus values are printed in hex. E.g. to decode the columns you need to read kernel function kernel softnet_seq_show() in kernel/net/core/net-procfs.c. To make things easier I wrote this small perl script for get so human readable statistics from /proc/net/softnet_stat. -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat Author of http://www.iptv-analyzer.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2007-September/msg03735.html [2] https://gist.github.com/SaveTheRbtz/172b2e2eb3cbd96b598d
