Public bug reported:

The current implementation of the diagnostics API provides various
standard network counter info. Two of those fields are simply
"<ifname>_rx" and "<ifname>_tx" with no units. This is not nice from a
usability and self-documentation perspective. I had to read the code to
verify they are in fact in octets.

The blueprint (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova_VM_Diagnostics) indicates that the current implementation is incorrect (or the blueprint should have been updated...):
"""
Network details
The network details will be an array of dictionaries per each virtual NIC.

Key	Description
rx_octets	Received octets (Integer)
rx_errors	Received errors (Integer)
rx_drop	Received packets dropped (Integer)
rx_packets	Received packets (Integer)
tx_octets	Transmitted Octets (Integer)
tx_errors	Transmit errors (Integer)
tx_drop	Transmit dropped packets (Integer)
tx_packets	Transmit packets (Integer)
