Public bug reported: The current implementation of the diagnostics API provides various standard network counter info. Two of those fields are simply "<ifname>_rx" and "<ifname>_tx" with no units. This is not nice from a usability and self-documentation perspective. I had to read the code to verify they are in fact in octets.
The blueprint (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova_VM_Diagnostics) indicates that the current implementation is incorrect (or the blueprint should have been updated...): """ Network details The network details will be an array of dictionaries per each virtual NIC.
