     slstats - report slip statistics

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     slstats [-v] [-i interval] [unit-number]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 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:

     -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.

     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 interface.


     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 interface.


     SEARCH   The  number of searches for the cached header entry
for a compressed
 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 specified.

     Should take an interface name and not a unit number.
