Abstract
Application program interface (API) reads a count value from a hardware counter in a network device. Then, the API resets the hardware counter and uses the count value to update a software counter. The software counter is stored in a memory location corresponding to the hardware counter. The memory is accessible both by the API and an application program using the API.
