| Demonstrations of tcpstates, the Linux BPF/bcc version. |
| |
| |
| tcpstates prints TCP state change information, including the duration in each |
| state as milliseconds. For example, a single TCP session: |
| |
| # tcpstates |
| SKADDR C-PID C-COMM LADDR LPORT RADDR RPORT OLDSTATE -> NEWSTATE MS |
| ffff9fd7e8192000 22384 curl 100.66.100.185 0 52.33.159.26 80 CLOSE -> SYN_SENT 0.000 |
| ffff9fd7e8192000 0 swapper/5 100.66.100.185 63446 52.33.159.26 80 SYN_SENT -> ESTABLISHED 1.373 |
| ffff9fd7e8192000 22384 curl 100.66.100.185 63446 52.33.159.26 80 ESTABLISHED -> FIN_WAIT1 176.042 |
| ffff9fd7e8192000 0 swapper/5 100.66.100.185 63446 52.33.159.26 80 FIN_WAIT1 -> FIN_WAIT2 0.536 |
| ffff9fd7e8192000 0 swapper/5 100.66.100.185 63446 52.33.159.26 80 FIN_WAIT2 -> CLOSE 0.006 |
| ^C |
| |
| This showed that the most time was spent in the ESTABLISHED state (which then |
| transitioned to FIN_WAIT1), which was 176.042 milliseconds. |
| |
| The first column is the socked address, as the output may include lines from |
| different sessions interleaved. The next two columns show the current on-CPU |
| process ID and command name: these may show the process that owns the TCP |
| session, depending on whether the state change executes synchronously in |
| process context. If that's not the case, they may show kernel details. |

| USAGE: |
| |
| # tcpstates -h |
| usage: tcpstates [-h] [-T] [-t] [-w] [-s] [-L LOCALPORT] [-D REMOTEPORT] |
| |
| Trace TCP session state changes and durations |
| |
| optional arguments: |
| -h, --help show this help message and exit |
| -T, --time include time column on output (HH:MM:SS) |
| -t, --timestamp include timestamp on output (seconds) |
| -w, --wide wide column output (fits IPv6 addresses) |
| -s, --csv comma separated values output |
| -L LOCALPORT, --localport LOCALPORT |
| comma-separated list of local ports to trace. |
| -D REMOTEPORT, --remoteport REMOTEPORT |
| comma-separated list of remote ports to trace. |
| |
| examples: |
| ./tcpstates # trace all TCP state changes |
| ./tcpstates -t # include timestamp column |
| ./tcpstates -T # include time column (HH:MM:SS) |
| ./tcpstates -w # wider colums (fit IPv6) |
| ./tcpstates -stT # csv output, with times & timestamps |
| ./tcpstates -L 80 # only trace local port 80 |
| ./tcpstates -L 80,81 # only trace local ports 80 and 81 |
| ./tcpstates -D 80 # only trace remote port 80 |
