        NetBSD 9 running as a VMWare ESXi 6.5 with hardware emulation version 4 guest
System: NetBSD www3.kiess.onl 9.0_STABLE NetBSD 9.0_STABLE (GENERIC) #4: Sun Sep 13 19:36:14 CEST 2020 mlelstv@gossam:/home/netbsd9/obj.amd64/home/netbsd9/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
        Network interface vmx0 does not count outpackets/sent packets as can be shown with netstat -i or running gkrellm.
        Only a very minimal number of packets gets counted. Received packets are getting counted correctly.
        The used host runs as a guest to an VMWare ESXi 6.5 with hardware emulation version 4 host at my providers place.
        The provider is https://www.ionos.de, where I booked a virtual private server.
        The version of NetBSD is 9-STABLE from Sep 13, 2020. 
        The outgoing packets are counted at the same provider, when using a FreeBSD or Debian instance.
>How-To-Repeat:
        netstat -i and have a look at Opkts from the interface vmx0
        or
        run gkrellm and look at the outgoing transfer rate of vmx0, which is mostly zero

 Dear Maintainers,

 I want to report that the bug I described for NetBSD 9 in conjunction
 with VMWare ESXi running at my providers ( https://www.ionos.de ) place, is fixed now that I
 upgraded to NetBSD 10 RELEASE.

 You can see in the above output from:

 # netstat -i

 that the vmx0 network interfaces out packets are counted again, gkrellm
  (application from pkgsrc) now also shows the outgoing network traffic
 rate correctly.

 Thank you very much for your kind attention.

 Sincerely,

 Adrian Kiess

State-Changed-Why:
fixed in sys/arch/x86/pci/if_vmx.c rev. 1.57
back in February 2020, in the late before-times
pullup to 9 might be a bit of work because of change in if stats API
but we could look into that if it's important
