1.1 deraadt 65: .Sh DESCRIPTION
66: The
1.21 aaron 67: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 68: command symbolically displays the contents of various network-related
69: data structures.
70: There are a number of output formats,
71: depending on the options for the information presented.
1.21 aaron 72: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 73: The first form of the command displays a list of active sockets for
74: each protocol.
75: The second form presents the contents of one of the other network
76: data structures according to the option selected.
77: Using the third form, with a
78: .Ar wait
79: interval specified,
1.21 aaron 80: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 81: will continuously display the information regarding packet
82: traffic on the configured network interfaces.
83: The fourth form displays statistics about the named protocol.
1.30 jmc 84: The fifth form displays per interface statistics for
85: the specified address family.

1.16 aaron 204: .It Fl p Ar protocol
1.35 ! markus 205: Restrict the output to
1.12 aaron 206: .Ar protocol ,
1.21 aaron 207: which is either a well-known name for a protocol or an alias for it.
208: Some protocol names and aliases are listed in the file
1.1 deraadt 209: .Pa /etc/protocols .
210: The program will complain if

1.1 deraadt 284: .Pp
1.21 aaron 285: The routing table display indicates the available routes and their status.
286: Each route consists of a destination host or network and
287: a gateway to use in forwarding packets.
288: If the destination is a
289: network in numeric format, the netmask (in /24 style format) is appended.
290: The flags field shows a collection of information about
291: the route stored as binary choices.
292: The individual flags are discussed in more detail in the
1.1 deraadt 293: .Xr route 8
294: and
295: .Xr route 4
296: manual pages.
1.21 aaron 297: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 298: The mapping between letters and flags is:
299: .Bl -column XXXX RTF_BLACKHOLE
1.12 aaron 300: 1 RTF_PROTO1 Protocol specific routing flag #1.
301: 2 RTF_PROTO2 Protocol specific routing flag #2.
1.25 niklas 302: 3 RTF_PROTO3 Protocol specific routing flag #3.
1.16 aaron 303: B RTF_BLACKHOLE Just discard pkts (during updates).
1.12 aaron 304: C RTF_CLONING Generate new routes on use.
1.34 jmc 305: c RTF_CLONED Cloned routes (generated from RTF_CLONING).
1.12 aaron 306: D RTF_DYNAMIC Created dynamically (by redirect).
307: G RTF_GATEWAY Destination requires forwarding by intermediary.
308: H RTF_HOST Host entry (net otherwise).
1.1 deraadt 309: L RTF_LLINFO Valid protocol to link address translation.
1.12 aaron 310: M RTF_MODIFIED Modified dynamically (by redirect).
311: R RTF_REJECT Host or net unreachable.
312: S RTF_STATIC Manually added.
313: U RTF_UP Route usable.
314: X RTF_XRESOLVE External daemon translates proto to link address.
1.1 deraadt 315: .El
316: .Pp
1.21 aaron 317: Direct routes are created for each interface attached to the local host;
1.1 deraadt 318: the gateway field for such entries shows the address of the outgoing interface.
1.21 aaron 319: The refcnt field gives the current number of active uses of the route.
320: Connection oriented protocols normally hold on to a single route for the
321: duration of a connection while connectionless protocols obtain a route while
322: sending to the same destination.
323: The use field provides a count of the number of packets sent using that route.
324: The MTU entry shows the MTU associated with that route.
325: This MTU value is used as the basis for the TCP maximum segment size (MSS).
1.34 jmc 326: The
327: .Sq L
328: flag appended to the MTU value indicates that the value is
329: locked, and that path MTU discovery is turned off for that route.
1.21 aaron 330: A
1.1 deraadt 331: .Sq -
1.12 aaron 332: indicates that the MTU for this route has not been set, and a default
1.21 aaron 333: TCP maximum segment size will be used.
334: The interface entry indicates the network interface utilized for the route.
1.1 deraadt 335: .Pp
336: When
1.21 aaron 337: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 338: is invoked with the
339: .Fl w
340: option and a
341: .Ar wait
342: interval argument, it displays a running count of statistics related to
343: network interfaces.
344: An obsolescent version of this option used a numeric parameter
345: with no option, and is currently supported for backward compatibility.
346: This display consists of a column for the primary interface (the first
347: interface found during autoconfiguration) and a column summarizing
348: information for all interfaces.
349: The primary interface may be replaced with another interface with the
350: .Fl I
351: option.
352: The first line of each screen of information contains a summary since the
1.21 aaron 353: system was last rebooted.
354: Subsequent lines of output show values accumulated over the preceding interval.
