Description
Hi，
It seems that some important metrics in ethtool related to the RDMA/ROCE are not supported, such as tx.pause.ctrl.phy，rx.prio5.pause and etc. Those counters are very important in ROCE network and included in physical/priority port counter.
So, we we have any plan to support them?

Research direction
Start by locating the existing ethtool counter collection and metric definitions in node_exporter, then trace how physical and priority port counters are exposed. Determine how tx.pause.ctrl.phy, rx.prio5.pause, and the other RDMA/ROCE counters map to exported metrics; done means those counters are supported and their values can be verified.
