NAME
       pppstats - Print Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) statistics

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/pppstats [-a] [-v] [-r] [-c count] [-w secs] [interface] [-z]

OPTIONS
       Displays	 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.  Repeats the display	 count	times.
       The default repeat count is 1 if the -w option is not specified, other‐
       wise infinity.  Displays the overall packet compression rate. The  rate
       value  is  between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning that the data is incompress‐
       ible.  Displays additional statistics, such as the  number  of  packets
       ignored	(rejected  by  the  VJ TCP header decompression code).	Pauses
       wait seconds between each display.  If this option  is  not  specified,
       the  default  interval  is 5 seconds.  Instead of the standard display,
       show statistics indicating the performance of  the  packet  compression
       algorithm in use. See the STATISTICS section for further information on
       this option.

DESCRIPTION
       The pppstats utility reports PPP-related statistics at  regular	inter‐
       vals  for the specified PPP interface.  If interface is unspecified, it
       will default to ppp0.  The display is split horizontally into input and
       output sections containing columns of statistics describing the proper‐
       ties and volume of packets received and transmitted by the interface.

   STATISTICS
       The following fields are printed on the input side when the  -z	option
       is not used: The total number of bytes received by this interface.  The
       total number of packets received by  this  interface.   The  number  of
       header-compressed  TCP  packets received by this interface.  The number
       of header-uncompressed TCP packets received  by	this  interface.   Not
       reported	 when  the -r option is specified.  The number of corrupted or
       bogus header-compressed TCP packets received by	this  interface.   Not
       reported when the -r option is specified.  The number of VJ header-com‐
       pressed TCP packets dropped on reception by this interface  because  of
       preceding  errors.  Only reported when the -v option is specified.  The
       total number of non-TCP	packets	 received  by  this  interface.	  Only
       reported	 when  the  -v	option	is  specified.	 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 -r option is specified.  The total  number  of	 bytes
       received,  after	 decompression	of  compressed packets.	 Only reported
       when the -r option is specified.

       The following fields are printed on the output side: The	 total	number
       of  bytes transmitted from this interface.  The total number of packets
       transmitted from this interface.	 The number of TCP packets transmitted
       from  this interface with VJ-compressed TCP headers.  The number of TCP
       packets transmitted from this interface with VJ-uncompressed TCP	 head‐
       ers.   Not  reported when the -r option is specified.  The total number
       of non-TCP packets transmitted from this interface. Not	reported  when
       the  -r	option	is  specified.	 The number of searches for the cached
       header entry for a VJ header compressed TCP packet.  Only reported when
       the  -v	option	is  specified.	 The number of failed searches for the
       cached header entry for	a  VJ  header  compressed  TCP	packet.	  Only
       reported	 when  the  -v	option	is  specified.	 The compression ratio
       achieved for transmitted packets by the packet  compression  scheme  in
       use,  defined  as the size before compression divided by the compressed
       size. Only reported when the -r option is specified.  The total	number
       of bytes to be transmitted, before packet compression is applied.  Only
       reported when the -r option is specified.

       When the -z  option  is	specified,  pppstats  displays	the  following
       fields,	relating to the packet compression algorithm currently in use.
       If packet compression is not in use, these fields all  display  zeroes.
       The fields displayed on the input side are: The number of bytes of com‐
       pressed packets received.  The number of compressed  packets  received.
       The  number  of	bytes  of incompressible packets (that is, those which
       were transmitted in uncompressed form) received.	 The number of	incom‐
       pressible  packets received.  The recent compression ratio for incoming
       packets, defined as the uncompressed size  divided  by  the  compressed
       size (including both compressible and incompressible packets).

       The  fields  displayed  on  the output side are: The number of bytes of
       compressed packets  transmitted.	  The  number  of  compressed  packets
       transmitted.  The number of bytes of incompressible packets transmitted
       (that is, those which were transmitted in uncompressed form).  The num‐
       ber  of	incompressible	packets	 transmitted.	The recent compression
       ratio for outgoing packets.
