Added

  • SKILL.md: a "DP CPU — onset and attribution" section. Date the onset
    against HA state changes; check VM-Series sizing against the licence's
    core cap and the packet-IO mode (DPDK or PacketMMAP); decide
    compute-bound or buffer-bound from PBP and ingress-backlog state in
    sdb.txt; split DP time by function with debug dataplane pow performance; name the costly inspection from the config. Two reading
    traps: per-process 94–100 % for pktproc in dp-monitor is busy-polling
    on the PA-3200, not load, and in HA an error is a cause only if the peer
    lacks it.
  • SKILL.md: --- panio blocks in dp-monitor.log also carry show session info and the global counters with a per-second rate, a
    pre-incident time series for any counter.
  • TSF-GUIDE.md §3: debug dataplane pow performance.
  • TSF-GUIDE.md §4, new rows:
    • an active HA member black-holing traffic with links up — the passive
      peer's pkt_recv against the active's ha_msg_sent, and the noise
      both peers share;
    • SFP model, optical levels, PAUSE frames and MAC errors in sdb.txt
      (sys.s1.p<N>.phy|detail|cfg|stats), with the insertion history in
      brdagent.log;
    • where frames are lost — CPU vs MAC counters of show counter interface all on both ends of HA2;
    • why a VM-Series runs PacketMMAP instead of DPDK, per boot, from
      pan_vm_plugin.log, pairing NIC twins by MAC.

Changed

  • The PA-3250 on 11.1 behaves like the PA-1400 in dp-monitor:
    bcm_g_cntr_stats fails with a Python SyntaxError and
    dpc_nica_stats prints NICA FPGA not available.

Fixed

  • tools/validate.sh checks links only in files git would commit, so a
    note under an ignored directory no longer blocks tools/intake.sh.
