[I don't know much about the userspace implementation, so maybe this
is a silly question]

What's the value of keeping track of 2 separate stats if they are
incremented exactly at the same time? Packet count will be the same,
and the difference in bytes will be just measuring the encap overhead.

Should one of them be "packets/individual messages that get received
over the UDP/TCP link" and the other "packets that get passed up to
the stack"?

And on TX maybe something like "packets that the stack wants to send
through the tunnel" and "packets that actually make it onto the
UDP/TCP socket after encap/encrypt"?
