NAME

pppstats - print PPP statistics

SYNOPSIS

pppstats[-v] [-r] [-c] [-i<secs>] [<unit#>]

DESCRIPTION

pppstatsprints PPP-related statistics.

The-vflag causespppstatsto display additional statistics, such as the number of packets tossed(that is, which the VJ TCP header decompression code rejected).

The-rflag causespppstatsto display the overall packet compression rate. The rate value isbetween 0 and 1, with 0 meaning that the data is incompressible.

The-cflag is used to specify an alternate display mode that showspacket compression statistics: the number of packets and bytesuncompressed (that is, before compression or after decompression),compressed, and incompressible (packets which did not shrink oncompression and were transmitted uncompressed), and the recentcompression rate. This rate reflects the recent performance of thecompression code rather than the overall rate achieved sincecompression was enabled.

The-iflag is used to specify the interval between printouts. The default is5 seconds.

<unit#> specifies which interface to use for gathering statistics.
