Dataplane Statistics - Dell S6100 Configuration Manual

Dataplane Statistics

The show hardware stack-unit cpu data-plane statistics command provides insight into the packet types coming to
the CPU. The show hardware stack-unit cpu party-bus statistics command displays input and output statistics on the
party bus, which carries inter-process communication traffic between CPUs.
The command output in the following example has been augmented, providing detailed RX/ TX packet statistics on a per-queue basis. The
objective is to see whether CPU-bound traffic is internal (so-called party bus or IPC traffic) or network control traffic, which the CPU must
process.
