row
A single conceptual row providing queue statistics 
data.
            
On Arista devices equipped with the XGS chipset, packet 
forwarding decisions are done by XGS, which is also 
referred as 'Forwarding ASIC' or 'Forwarding Element'. 
            
In some situations, the packets cannot be fully handled
by the Forwarding Element. These need to be processed by 
Arista EOS. In these situations, the Forwarding Element will 
send the packet to the CPU.  Some examples of such packets:
            
a. Protocol packets like BGP, LACP that need to be processed
by EOS.
b. Packets that cannot be forwarded in hardware like IP 
packets with options information.
c. Packets that cannot be forwarded in hardware due to 
incomplete information (for example, missing ARP data).
            
The Forwarding Element to CPU connection appears as another 
logical interface in hardware. This logical interface has 
several queues associated with it. Packets will end up 
in one of the finite number of queues based on configuration.
            
Some Arista devices ship with multiple such Forwarding Elements
(XGS chip). Each Forwarding Element has an independent interface
that represents the CPU with its own set of queues.
            
This single conceptual row identifies queue statistics that
correspond to a single Forwarding Element and a single CPU queue.
