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
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 compression or after decompression), compressed, and
incompressible (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 printouts. The
default is 5 seconds.
<unit#> specifies which interface to use for gathering statistics.
