Most devices maintain RMON (RFC 2819) stats - particularly the "histogram" of packets received by size. Unlike other RFCs which duplicate IEEE stats, the short/oversized frame counters in RMON don't seem to match IEEE stats 1-to-1 either, so expose those, too. Do not expose basic packet, CRC errors etc - those are already otherwise covered. Because standard defines packet ranges only up to 1518, and everything above that should theoretically be "oversized" - devices often create their own ranges. Going beyond what the RFC defines - expose the "histogram" in the Tx direction (assume for now that the ranges will be the same).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
