NAME
slstats -- report slip statistics
SYNOPSIS
slstats [-M core] [-N system] [-v] [-i interval] [unit-number]
DESCRIPTION
The slstats utility reports slip-related statistics for the sl`unit-number' interface. If the unit-number is unspecified, it defaults to 0. These statistics are displayed at regular intervals. The display is split horizontally into input and output sections contain- ing columns of statistics describing the properties and volume of packets received and transmitted by the specified interface. The first report will consist of a snapshot of the interface's present statistics. All further output will describe activity between report intervals. The options are as follows: -v Display additional statistics demonstrating the efficacy of VJ header compression and providing more explicit information on failure distribution. -i Specifies the interval between reports. The default interval is 5 seconds. -M core Extract values associated with the name list from the speci- fied. -N system Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default /netbsd. The following fields are printed on the input side: IN The total number of bytes received by this interface. PACK The total number of packets received by this interface. COMP The number of compressed TCP packets received by this interface. UNCOMP The number of uncompressed TCP packets received by this inter- face. ERR The number of packets received by this interface of unknown type. TOSS The number of packets dropped on reception by this interface. Only reported when the -v option is specified. IP The total number of non-TCP packets received by this interface. Only reported when the -v option is specified. The following fields are printed on the output side: OUT The total number of bytes transmitted from this interface. PACK The total number of packets transmitted from this interface. COMP The number of TCP packets compressed and then transmitted from this interface. UNCOMP The number of uncompressed TCP packets transmitted from this interface. IP The total number of non-TCP packets transmitted from this inter- face. SEARCH The number of searches for the cached header entry for a com- pressed packet. Only reported when the -v option is specified. MISS The number of failed searches for the cached header entry for a compressed packet. Only reported when the -v option is speci- fied.
