-This document describes the interfaces /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6.
-Note that these interfaces are deprecated in favor of tcp_diag.
-
-These /proc interfaces provide information about currently active TCP
-connections, and are implemented by tcp4_seq_show() in net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c
-and tcp6_seq_show() in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c, respectively.
-
-It will first list all listening TCP sockets, and next list all established
-TCP connections. A typical entry of /proc/net/tcp would look like this (split
-up into 3 parts because of the length of the line):
