slstats — report slip statistics

slstats [-v] [-i interval] [interface]

The slstats utility reports slip-related statistics for the sl interface. If the interface is unspecified, it defaults to sl0. These statistics are displayed at regular intervals.

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 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:

interval
Specifies the interval between reports. The default interval is 5 seconds.
Display additional statistics demonstrating the efficacy of VJ header compression and providing more explicit information on failure distribution.

The following fields are printed on the input side:

The total number of bytes received by this interface.
The total number of packets received by this interface.
The number of compressed TCP packets received by this interface.
The number of uncompressed TCP packets received by this interface.
The number of packets received by this interface of unknown type.
The number of packets dropped on reception by this interface. 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 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 compressed and then transmitted from this interface.
The number of uncompressed TCP packets transmitted from this interface.
The total number of non-TCP packets transmitted from this interface.
The number of searches for the cached header entry for a compressed packet. Only reported when the -v option is specified.
The number of failed searches for the cached header entry for a compressed packet. Only reported when the -v option is specified.
