Re: Tunnel tool ping error

 

Hi Didier,

Could you tell me where the packet statistics for the tunnel tool
compressor and decompressor are shown (from the print_decomp_stats and
print_comp_stats methods)?
The statistics aren't displayed when I run rohctunnel... how can the
stats_comp  and stats_decomp file contents be viewed? I've tried I/O
redirection but that hasn't worked..

Thanks and regards,
Josephine
