right, should be careful not to double count it
but maybe better to set it to 0 in queue_missed_stat_update in the stop return case
	if (!pcap || (pcap_stats(pcap, &stat) != 0))
	{
		missed_stat->pcap = 0;
		return missed_stat;
	}
this way the missed_stat->pcap will always represent the current value from pcap and not hold old value
specifically in case port is stopped it will be 0 and not re-added 
agree?

I don't think so
reset should only remember where pcap was at the reset point and not store old values
trying it immediately results in
