Hello all,
I am trying to check out how much packet loss I am having across a link that I am simulating using ipfw and dummynet. I am a bit baffled by the output of ipfw and cannot seem to find packet loss statistics.
I would be very grateful if someone could explain it to me. I have scavenged the ipfw man pages and websites to try to find an answer and I have been unsuccessful so far.
What do the numbers in bold represent? Does Drp stand for number of packets dropped? And if so, how can I clear these counters? (ipfw zero 100 does not seem to work.)
Thanks,
atwinix
