WG Last Call: draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang-07: Vladimir issue 15.
- I propose that new "ietf-interfaces-common:in-discards-overflow"
counter is added. Currently the "ietf-interfaces:in-discards" can contain both discards like the ones accumulated in in-drop-unknown-dest-mac-pkts and discards caused by overflows (performance related loss of packets like freeing buffer space in devices that in certain cases are forwarding slower then the line speed). Turns out knowing if device is discarding (loosing) packets due to performance shortage and discarding (filtering) unwanted packets are two different events that one needs to differentiate between are currently in the same in-discards counter. We can fix that with the introduction of in-discards-overflow counter.
