5 netstat tips

netstat has some very neat features we could make use of more often! Here is 5.

Note: examples here may not apply to BSD based systems

1. The classic: list local listening TCP/UDP ports and their process:

$ sudo netstat -tulpn

2. Get a tail -f behaviour with:

$ sudo netstat -c

3. Show network transactions:

# including RX/TX and MTU
$ sudo netstat -i

4. Display the routing table:

$ sudo netstat -r

5. Show statistics by protocol:

$ sudo netstat -s
