NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       pppstats [ -v ] [ -r ] [ -c ] [ -i <secs> ] [ <unit#> ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pppstats prints PPP-related statistics.
13
14       The  -v  flag causes pppstats to display additional statistics, such as
15       the number of packets tossed (that is, which the VJ TCP  header  decom‐
16       pression code rejected).
17
18       The  -r  flag causes pppstats to display the overall packet compression
19       rate.  The rate value is between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning that the  data
20       is incompressible.
21
22       The  -c  flag  is  used to specify an alternate display mode that shows
23       packet compression statistics: the number of packets and  bytes  uncom‐
24       pressed  (that  is,  before  compression  or after decompression), com‐
25       pressed, and incompressible (packets which did not shrink  on  compres‐
26       sion  and  were  transmitted  uncompressed), and the recent compression
27       rate.  This rate reflects the recent  performance  of  the  compression
28       code  rather  than  the  overall  rate  achieved  since compression was
29       enabled.
30
31       The -i flag is used to specify  the  interval  between  printouts.  The
32       default is 5 seconds.
33
34       <unit#> specifies which interface to use for gathering statistics.
