I think it makes more sense to change default to true on packet count (or both), and fix the comment.
What does this comment mean? "Only Byte count used which is set to disable". I think it should be changed to "Only Byte count used". Meaning it is illegal to create a counter which counts only bytes and not packets.

You should read the whole paragraph. "By default, Byte Counter would be created and following use of the below attributes would result in an error." So the cases below are ones that lead to an error: disabling byte count and not enabling packet count means that counter does not count anything. Only configurations with at least one enabled counter are allowed, but the Byte Counter is enabled by default.
