Limits imposed by software or hardware implementations could restrict the amount of statistical data that can be maintained in a physical entity (like a service module card). Hence there could be a need to restrict statistics collection to a smaller subset. This object serves the purpose of enabling/disabling statistics collection on a per connection basis. In implementations which do not have such limitations, this object can be set to true(1) for all connections. When set to true(1), statistics collection is enabled; When set to false(2), stats collection is disabled
