the inconsistence could also be fixed by renaming ipadm to netadm except that netadm is "taken": http://netadm.sourceforge.net/ The other point to consider is that 'netstat -s -P ' is pretty standard (I was able to google up pages for this linux & micrsoft, and I recall using it on the BSD based Tru64). So we could recast and enhance the netstat output into an ipstat, but I think the netstat/ipadm pair might not be totally eradicable. --Sowmini _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
