man/man8/tcptop.8

+.TH tcptop 8  "2016-09-13" "USER COMMANDS"
+.SH NAME
+tcptop \- Summarize TCP send/recv throughput by host. Top for TCP.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B tcptop [\-h] [\-C] [\-S] [\-p PID] [interval] [count]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is top for TCP sessions.
+
+This summarizes TCP send/receive Kbytes by host, and prints a summary that
+refreshes, along other system-wide metrics.
+
+This uses dynamic tracing of kernel TCP send/receive functions, and will
+need to be updated to match kernel changes.
+
+The traced TCP functions are usually called at a lower rate than
+per-packet functions, and therefore have lower overhead. The traced data is
+summarized in-kernel using a BPF map to further reduce overhead. At very high
+TCP event rates, the overhead may still be measurable. See the OVERHEAD
+section for more details.
+
+Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool.
+.SH REQUIREMENTS
+CONFIG_BPF and bcc.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\-h
+Print USAGE message.
+.TP
+\-C
+Don't clear the screen.
+.TP
+\-S

+.TP
+interval

+.SH OVERHEAD
+This traces all send/receives in TCP, high in the TCP/IP stack (close to the
+application) which are usually called at a lower rate than per-packet
+functions, lowering overhead. It also summarizes data in-kernel to further
+reduce overhead. These techniques help, but there may still be measurable
+overhead at high send/receive rates, eg, ~13% of one CPU at 100k events/sec.
+use funccount to count the kprobes in the tool to find out this rate, as the
+overhead is relative to the rate. Some sample production servers tested found
+total TCP event rates of 4k to 15k per second, and the CPU overhead at these
+rates ranged from 0.5% to 2.0% of one CPU. If your send/receive rate is low
+(eg, <1000/sec) then the overhead is expected to be negligible; Test in a lab
+environment first.

+
+This example output shows two listings of TCP connections, for IPv4 and IPv6.
+If there is only traffic for one of these, then only one group is shown.
+
+The output in each listing is sorted by total throughput (send then receive),
+and when printed it is rounded (floor) to the nearest Kbyte. The example output
+shows PID 16647, sshd, transmitted 2149 Kbytes during the tracing interval.
+The other IPv4 sessions had such low throughput they rounded to zero.
+
+All TCP sessions, including over loopback, are included.
+
+The session with the process name (COMM) of 16648 is really a short-lived
+process with PID 16648 where we didn't catch the process name when printing
+the output. If this behavior is a serious issue for you, you can modify the
+tool's code to include bpf_get_current_comm() in the key structs, so that it's
+fetched during the event and will always be seen. I did it this way to start
+with, but it was measurably increasing the overhead of this tool, so I switched
+to the asynchronous model.
+
+The overhead is relative to TCP event rate (the rate of tcp_sendmsg() and
+tcp_recvmsg() or tcp_cleanup_rbuf()). Due to buffering, this should be lower
+than the packet rate. You can measure the rate of these using funccount.
+Some sample production servers tested found total rates of 4k to 15k per
+second. The CPU overhead at these rates ranged from 0.5% to 2.0% of one CPU.
+Maybe your workloads have higher rates and therefore higher overhead, or,
+lower rates.
+
+
+I much prefer not clearing the screen, so that historic output is in the
+scroll-back buffer, and patterns or intermittent issues can be better seen.
+You can do this with -C:
+
+# tcptop -C
+Tracing... Output every 1 secs. Hit Ctrl-C to end
