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), 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.
