Description

Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-XXV driver 1.16.3 under Debian 12.5 (6.1.0-31-amd64) doesn't support NIC traffic refresh in seconds, after downgrading to 1.13.7, it is back to normal.
Observed phenomenon using `netperf` to hit the flow test, found using `sar -n DEV 1` monitoring found per second data anomaly `%ifutil=195.30`, and try to use `cat /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/tx_bytes` found every 2 seconds refresh. So using `sar -n DEV 2` the data returned to normal.
My machine information is as follows:
