NAME
pppstats - print PPP statistics
SYNOPSIS
pppstats [ -v ] [ -r ] [ -c ] [ -i <secs> ] [ <unit#> ]
DESCRIPTION
pppstats prints PPP-related statistics.
The -v flag causes pppstats to display additional statistics, such as
the number of packets tossed (that is, which the VJ TCP header decom-
pression code rejected).
The -r flag causes pppstats to display the overall packet compression
rate. The rate value is between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning that the data
is incompressible.
The -c flag is used to specify an alternate display mode that shows
packet compression statistics: the number of packets and bytes uncom-
pressed (that is, before compression or after decompression), com-
pressed, and incompressible (packets which did not shrink on compres-
sion and were transmitted uncompressed), and the recent compression
rate. This rate reflects the recent performance of the compression
code rather than the overall rate achieved since compression was
enabled.
The -i flag is used to specify the interval between printouts. The
default is 5 seconds.
<unit#> specifies which interface to use for gathering statistics.
