Netstat Commands for Linux Network Management
netstat (network statistics) is a command line tool for monitoring network connections both incoming and outgoing as well as viewing routing tables, interface statistics etc. netstat is available on all Unix-like Operating Systems and also available on Windows OS as well. It is very useful in terms of network troubleshooting and performance measurement. netstat is one of the most basic network service debugging tools, telling you what ports are open and whether any programs are listening on ports.

Linux Netstat Command
This tool is very important and much useful for Linux network administrators as well as system administrators to monitor and troubleshoot their network related problems and determine network traffic performance. This article shows usages of netstat command with their examples which may be useful in daily operation.

That’s it, If you are looking for more information and options about netstat command, refer netstat manual docs or use man netstat command to know all the information. If we’ve missed anything in the list, please inform us using our comment section below. So, we could keep updating this list based on your comments.
1、通过netstat命令可以查询所有的tcp连接状态:
# netstat -anp | grep tcp
2、结合awk命令,统计出tcp连接不同状态的数量:
# netstat -na | awk '/^tcp/ {++S[$NF]} END {for(a in S) print a, S[a]}'
TIME_WAIT 4
ESTABLISHED 6
LISTEN 12
SYN_RECV 表示正在等待处理的请求数;
ESTABLISHED 表示正常数据传输状态;
TIME_WAIT 表示处理完毕,等待超时结束的请求数
To find out the number of connections from an IP.
netstat -ntu | awk ‘{print $5}’ | cut -d: -f1 | uniq -c | sort -n
In the above command AWK print out the 5th column of netstat output, the CUT part cuts every line at the first space character and take the first piece, than we just have to SORT the results and take the UNIQUE values.
To find out the largest number of established connections.
netstat -na | grep ‘ESTABLISHED’ | awk ‘{print $4}’ | cut -d: -f1 | uniq -c | sort -rn
In the above command GREP is been used to find the line containing “ESTABLISHED“, AWK print out the 4th column of netstat output. CUT part cuts every line at the first space character and take the first piece, than we just have to SORT the results and take the UNIQUE values.
To check max number of connections to server.
netstat -nap |grep ‘tcp\|udp’ | awk ‘{print $5}’ | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
