tcpwdist.d   [plain text]

/*
 * tcpwdist.d - simple TCP write distribution by process.
 *              Written in DTrace (Solaris 10 3/05).
 *
 * This measures the size of writes from applications to the TCP level, which
 * may well be much larger than the MTU size (this is application writes not
 * packet writes). It can help identify which process is creating network
 * traffic, and the size of the writes by that application. It uses a simple
 * probe that produces meaningful output for most protocols.
 *
 * Tracking TCP activity by process is complex for a number of reasons,
 * the greatest is that inbound TCP traffic is asynchronous to the process.
 * The easiest TCP traffic to match is writes, which this script demonstrates.
 * However there are still issues - for an inbound telnet connection the
 * writes are associated with the command, for example "ls -l", not something
 * meaningful such as "in.telnetd".
 *
 * Scripts that match TCP traffic properly include tcpsnoop and tcptop.

 * USAGE:       tcpwdist.d          # wait several seconds, then hit Ctrl-C
 *
 * FIELDS:
 *		PID	process ID
 *		CMD	command and argument list
 *		value	TCP write payload size in bytes
 *		count	number of writes
 *
 * SEE ALSO:	tcpsnoop, tcptop
