------------------------------------
Counters
For each stream that is being processed the following counters will be output in stats.log:
nt<streamid>.pkts - The number of packets recieved by the stream.
nt<streamid>.bytes - The total bytes received by the stream.
nt<streamid>.drop - The number of packets that were dropped from this stream due to
buffer overflow conditions.
If hba is enabled the following counter will also be provided:
nt<streamid>.hba_drop - the number of packets dropped because the host buffer allowance
high-water mark was reached.
In addition to counters host buffer utilization is tracked and logged. This is also useful for
debugging. Log messages are output for both Host and On-Board buffers when reach 25, 50, 75
percent of utilization. Corresponding messages are output when utilization decreases.
