21.Sh NAME
22.Nm connstat
23.Nd report TCP connection statistics
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25.Nm
26.Op Fl eLP
27.Op Fl 4 Ns | Ns Fl 6
28.Op Fl T Sy d Ns | Ns Sy u
29.Op Fl F Ar filter
30.Op Fl i Ar interval
31.Op Fl c Ar count
32.Op Fl o Ar field Ns Oo , Ns Ar field Oc Ns ...
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The
35.Nm
36command reports TCP connection statistics in tabular form.
37Each row of the table represents the activity of one connection.
38The
39.Nm
40command adds virtually no overhead to run as it is aggregating statistics that
41are always collected in the kernel.
42.Pp
43With no arguments,
44.Nm
45prints a single report containing all TCP connections, and includes a basic
46set of fields representing IP address and port information, as well as connection
47state.
48The
49.Fl o
50flag can be used to specify which fields to display, and other arguments to
51filter the set of connections included in the output.
52.Sh OPTIONS
53The arguments are as follows:
54.Bl -tag -width ""
55.It Fl 4 , Fl -ipv4
56Only displays IPv4 connections.
57.It Fl 6 , Fl -ipv6
58Only displays IPv6 connections
59.It Fl c Ar count , Fl -count Ns = Ns Ar count
60Print a specified number of reports before exiting.
61This is used in conjunction with
62.Fl i .
63.It Fl e , Fl -established
64Only display connections that are in state ESTABLISHED.
65This is equivalent to including
66.Sy state=ESTABLISHED
67in the filter argument to the
68.Fl F
69option.
70.It Fl F Ar filter , Fl -filter Ns = Ns Ar filter
71Only display connections that match the filter argument provided.
72The format of the filter is:
73.Pp
74.Ar field Ns = Ns Ar value Ns Oo , Ns Ar field Ns = Ns Ar value Oc Ns ...
75.Pp
76Fields that can currently be filtered are
77.Ar laddr , Ar lport , Ar raddr , Ar rport , and Ar state .
78See the
79.Sx Fields
80section for a description of these fields.
81The filter matches a connection if all of the filter elements match, and a
82field must only appears once in the filter.
83.It Fl i Ar interval , Fl -interval Ns = Ns Ar interval
84Specify an output interval in seconds.
85For each interval, a report containing all connections appropriate given other
86command-line options is printed.
87.It Fl L , Fl -no-loopback
88Exclude connections to the loopback address.
89.It Fl o Ar fields , Fl -output Ns = Ns Ar fields
90Restrict the output to the specified comma-delimited list of field names.
91See the
92.Sx Fields
93section for information about possible fields.
94.It Fl P , Fl -parsable
95Display using a stable, machine-parsable output format.
96The
97.Fl o
98flag must also be given to specify which fields to output and their order.
99Each line of output will consist of comma-delimited (,) fields,
100and no header will be emittted.
101When also using the
102.Fl T
103option, lines indicating the current time will begin with
104.Dq "= " .
105See
106.Sx Example 4
107for an example of how to process parsable output.
108.It Fl T Sy d Ns | Ns Sy u , Fl -timestamp Ns = Ns Sy d Ns | Ns Sy u
109Print a timestamp before each block of output.
110.Pp
111Specify
112.Sy u
113for a printed representation of the internal representation of time (see
114.Xr time 2 Ns ).
115Specify
116.Sy d
117for standard date format (see
118.Xr date 1 Ns ).
119.El
120.Ss Fields
121The following fields are supported.
122Field names are case insensitive.
123Unless otherwise indicated, the values of fields that represent a count (e.g.
124bytes or segments) are cumulative since the connection was established.
125Some of these fields refer to data segments, which are segments that contain
126non-zero amount of data.
127All sizes are in bytes.
128.Bl -tag -width "inunorderbytes"
129.It Sy cwnd
130The size of the local TCP congestion window at this instant.
131.It Sy inbytes
132The number of data bytes received.
133This does not include duplicate bytes received.
134.It Sy insegs
135The number of data segments received.
136This does not include duplicate segments received.
137.It Sy inunorderbytes
138The number of data bytes that were received out of order.
139.It Sy inunordersegs
140The number of data segments that were received out of order.
141.It Sy laddr
142The local IP address.
143.It Sy lport
144The local TCP port.
145.It Sy mss
146The maximum TCP segment size for this connection.
147.It Sy outbytes
148The number of data bytes sent.
149This does not include retransmitted bytes counted by
150.Sy retransbytes .
151.It Sy outsegs
152The number of data segments sent.
153This does not include segments containing retransmitted bytes counted by
154.Sy retranssegs .
155.It Sy raddr
156The remote IP address.
157.It Sy retransbytes
158The number of data bytes retransmitted.
159.It Sy retranssegs
160The number of data segments sent that contained retransmitted bytes.
161.It Sy rport
162The remote TCP port.
163.It Sy rto
164The current retransmission timeout in milliseconds.
165.It Sy rtt
166The current smoothed round-trip time to the peer in microseconds.
167The smoothed RTT average algorithm used is as described in RFC 6298.
168.It Sy rttc
169The number of times that a round-trip sample was added to
170.Sy rtts .
171See
172.Sy rtts
173for a description of how these two fields can be used together to calculate the
174average round-trip over a given period.
175.It Sy rtts
176The sum of all round-trip samples taken over the lifetime of the connection in
177microseconds.
178Each time TCP updates the value of
179.Sy rtt
180with a new sample, that sample's value is added to
181.Sy rtts .
182To calculate the average round-trip over a given period (e.g. between T1 and T2),
183take samples of
184.Sy rtts
185and
186.Sy rttc
187at T1 and T2, and calculate
188.br
189((
190.Sy rtts Ns
191_T2 -
192.Sy rtts Ns
193_T1 ) / (
194.Sy rttc Ns
195_T2 -
196.Sy rttc Ns
197_T1 )).

220Local endpoint is closed, but waiting for termination acknowledgment from the
221peer.
222.It Sy FIN_WAIT_2
223Local endpoint is closed, but waiting for a termination request from the peer.
224.It Sy IDLE
225The local endpoint (e.g. socket) has been opened, but is not bound.
226.It Sy LAST_ACK
227The remote endpoint has terminated, and the local endpoint has sent a termination
228request.

293.Ed
294.It Sy Example 3 Understanding the bottleneck for a given connection
295Understanding the transmit bottleneck for a connection requires knowing the
296size of the congestion window, whether the window is full, and the round-trip
297time to the peer.
298The congestion window is full when
299.Sy suna
300is equal to
301.Sy cwnd .
302If the window is full, then the throughput is limited by the size of the window
303and the round-trip time.
304In that case, knowing these two values is critical.
305Either the window is small because of retransmissions, or the round-trip
306latency is high, or both.
307In the example below, the window is small due to high congestion or an
308unreliable network.
