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.
