[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2] sflow: Expose ethernet stats via sFlow

Robert,

It's great to get the multicast and broadcast counters in there.

I do wonder if it's worth including the whole ethernet stats block just to
distinguish alignment / FCS /  frame-too-long errors, given that total
errors is already a counter in the generic block.   I know that some follow
symbolErrors particularly carefully.  I think because those are good for
early-warning of fiber/laser degradation.  Any chance we could get those
too?

So it's a thumbs-up from me,  with the hope that we can add symbolErrors
later.

Neil
