1 This document describes the interfaces /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6.
2 Note that these interfaces are deprecated in favor of tcp_diag.
4 These /proc interfaces provide information about currently active TCP
5 connections, and are implemented by tcp4_seq_show() in net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c
6 and tcp6_seq_show() in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c, respectively.
8 It will first list all listening TCP sockets, and next list all established
9 TCP connections. A typical entry of /proc/net/tcp would look like this (split
10 up into 3 parts because of the length of the line):
12 46: 010310AC:9C4C 030310AC:1770 01
13 | | | | | |--> connection state
14 | | | | |------> remote TCP port number
15 | | | |-------------> remote IPv4 address
16 | | |--------------------> local TCP port number

20 00000150:00000000 01:00000019 00000000
21 | | | | |--> number of unrecovered RTO timeouts
22 | | | |----------> number of jiffies until timer expires

29 | | | | | | | | | or -1 if the threshold
30 | | | | | | | | | is >= 0xFFFF

37 | | | |-----------------------> socket reference count
38 | | |-----------------------------> inode
39 | |----------------------------------> unanswered 0-window probes
40 |---------------------------------------------> uid
44 1 retransmit-timer is pending
45 2 another timer (e.g. delayed ack or keepalive) is pending
46 3 this is a socket in TIME_WAIT state. Not all fields will contain
48 4 zero window probe timer is pending
