icmpstat.d - print ICMP statistics. Uses DTrace. icmpstat.d icmpstat.d is a DTrace program to print ICMP statistics every second, retrieved from the MIB provider. This is a simple script to demonstrate the ability to trace ICMP events. The ICMP statistics are documented in the mib2_icmp struct in /usr/include/inet/mib2.h; and also in the mib provider chapter of the DTrace Guide, found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E22973. Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. Solaris stable - needs the mib provider.
