A nano utility: the TCP/UDP sockets of the system with byte and packet counters.

VersionX-03-00
StatusMaintained
PlatformsLinux
LicenceApache License 2.0
For whomNetwork administrators who need a snapshot or a monitor of sockets chosen by criteria.

What it is

The inventory is read from /proc/net/{tcp,tcp6,udp,udp6}, the counters from NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG (on a kernel without CONFIG_INET_DIAG the columns say n/a). Commands: SHOW (one snapshot), MONITOR (refreshed until Ctrl-C), HELP. Qualifiers may be abbreviated and given with / or --.

Why

To see who sends how much without putting ss and netstat together by hand.
