.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B pppstats
|
|
utility reports PPP-related statistics at regular intervals for the
|
|
specified PPP interface. If the interface is unspecified, it will
|
|
default to ppp0.
|
|
The display is split horizontally
|
|
into input and output sections containing columns of statistics
|
|
describing the properties and volume of packets received and
|
|
transmitted by the interface.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -a
|
|
Display absolute values rather than deltas. With this option, all
|
|
reports show statistics for the time since the link was initiated.
|
|
Without this option, the second and subsequent reports show statistics
|
|
for the time since the last report.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -c \fIcount
|
|
Repeat the display
|
|
.I count
|
|
times. If this option is not specified, the default repeat count is 1
|
|
if the
|
|
.B -w
|
|
option is not specified, otherwise infinity.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -r
|
|
Display additional statistics summarizing the compression ratio
|
|
achieved by the packet compression algorithm in use.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -v
|
|
Display additional statistics relating to the performance of the Van
|
|
Jacobson TCP header compression algorithm.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -w \fIwait
|
|
Pause
|
|
.I wait
|
|
seconds between each display. If this option is not specified, the
|
|
default interval is 5 seconds.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -z
|
|
Instead of the standard display, show statistics indicating the
|
|
performance of the packet compression algorithm in use.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following fields are printed on the input side when the
|
|
.B -z
|
|
option is not used:
|

option is specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B VJTOSS
|
|
The number of VJ header-compressed TCP packets dropped on reception by
|
|
this interface because of preceding errors. Only reported when the

|
.B -v
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B NON-VJ
|
|
The total number of non-TCP packets received by this interface. Only
|
|
reported when the
|
|
.B -v
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B RATIO
|
|
The compression ratio achieved for received packets by the
|
|
packet compression scheme in use, defined as the uncompressed size
|
|
divided by the compressed size.
|
|
Only reported when the
|
|
.B -r
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B UBYTE
|
|
The total number of bytes received, after decompression of compressed
|
|
packets. Only reported when the
|
|
.B -r
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
