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 statis
tics, such as the number of packets tossed (that is, which
the VJ TCP header decompression 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 uncompressed (that is, before compres
sion or after decompression), compressed, and incompress
ible (packets which did not shrink on compression 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 print
outs. The default is 5 seconds.
<unit#> specifies which interface to use for gathering
statistics.
