Talk:Netstat

Untitled
Hi, This is a good page but I have one small suggestion for the preivous authors and this its to specifiy which platform is being used to describe the netstat parameters set out in the document. I suspect that the netstat on windows XP is being discussed. Can this be made more clear in the article? Cheers, Rod

Request to add a description of the following parameters:

-t

-u

-p

-s (does nothing) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.174.7.17 (talk) 15:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

they(t&u) are used in the screenshot and are given in some examples on the net but their explanation is not in the man page or easily available. Thanks

use of word "statistics"
I disagree with using the word "statstics" to refer to any data the command might report. This is not accurate terminology. Only some of the data reported (such as the -e ethernet statistics) are properly called "statistics". Mostly this command reports state, or status.

I do realize this may be carried over from Microsoft documentation for the command.

TCP and/or UDP
In the introduction it states "In computing, netstat (network statistics) is a command-line network utility that displays network connections for Transmission Control Protocol (both incoming and outgoing)", but later on it says both TCP and UDP in the Netstat protocol. Should the introduction include UCP as well? (I don't know the answer).
