do folk use `netstat -s` to help diagnose on routers/switches?
I suspect there's an unstated question here of should metrics reported by netstat -s which includes metrics from the kernel should include metrics derived from from the asic counters. I do / have occasionally used netstat or the values exposed to it from the kernel which are generally also exposed via other metrics methods. I would find it a little odd for ip counters in netstat for example to include packets that do not hit the kernel control plane, though I could imagine someone wanting that.
