Description

Transmitted frames are counted in both the tx and rx counters. This can be seen by sending a large amount of can frames (e.g. with cangen) and observing both rate counters increase by ~ the same amount.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by sending many CAN frames with cangen and observing the TX and RX frame-rate counters. Start by locating the counter handling for transmitted and received frames, then verify that each counter only records its corresponding direction and repeat the observation to confirm the rates diverge appropriately.
