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.
