description

The 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.

The options are as follows:

-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.

-c count

Repeat the display count times. If this option is not specified, the default repeat count is 1 if the -w option is not specified, otherwise infinity.

-r

Display additional statistics summarizing the compression ratio achieved by the packet compression algorithm in use.

-v

Display additional statistics relating to the performance of the Van Jacobson TCP header compression algorithm.

-w wait

Pause wait seconds between each display. If this option is not specified, the default interval is 5 seconds.

-z

Instead of the standard display, show statistics indicating the performance of the packet compression algorithm in use.

The following fields are printed on the input side when the -z option is not used:

in

The total number of bytes received by this interface.

The following fields are printed on the output side:

out

The total number of bytes transmitted from this interface.

When the -z option is specified, pppstats instead displays the following fields, relating to the packet compression algorithm currently in use. If packet compression is not in use, these fields will all display zeroes. The fields displayed on the input side are:
COMPRESSED BYTE

The number of bytes of compressed packets received.

COMPRESSED PACK

The number of compressed packets received.

INCOMPRESSIBLE BYTE

The number of bytes of incompressible packets (that is, those which were transmitted in uncompressed form) received.

INCOMPRESSIBLE PACK

The number of incompressible packets received.

COMP RATIO

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:
COMPRESSED BYTE

The number of bytes of compressed packets transmitted.

COMPRESSED PACK

The number of compressed packets transmitted.

INCOMPRESSIBLE BYTE

The number of bytes of incompressible packets transmitted (that is, those which were transmitted in uncompressed form).

INCOMPRESSIBLE PACK

The number of incompressible packets transmitted.

COMP RATIO

The recent compression ratio for outgoing packets.
