Background execution allows a shell to run a command without user interaction in the terminal, freeing the command line for additional work with the shell.
(This is equivalent to the route print command under Windows.) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes -s: Displays statistics by protocol.

If the IPv6 protocol for Windows XP is installed, statistics are shown for the TCP over IPv6, UDP over IPv6, ICMPv6, and IPv6 protocols.
The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of widely used and currently available operating system kernels. Please see the individual products' articles for further information.
ipconfig (standing for "Internet Protocol configuration") is a console application program of some computer operating systems that displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings.
