About:
Tcpstat is a command-line utility that provides a real-time summary of active TCP connections on a system. It displays key metrics such as the number of connections in each state (e.g., ESTABLISHED, TIME_WAIT), offering a quick and lightweight alternative to more complex network monitoring tools for immediate diagnostics.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of TCP connection states
  • Lightweight and fast command-line interface
  • Summarizes connection data for quick analysis
  • Simple to use with minimal configuration
Use Cases:
  • Diagnosing high connection counts or potential connection leaks on servers
  • Quickly auditing the network state of a machine without launching a full suite
  • Monitoring active TCP traffic in resource-constrained environments
Alternatives:
  • netstat – Provides more detailed and comprehensive network statistics but can be overwhelming for a simple summary.
  • ss – A modern and faster replacement for netstat that offers more socket information but is still more verbose than tcpstat.
