Re: Tcphealth: TCP connection monitoring in Linux
Mike,
Of course as the author of tcphealth, I would love to see it in the
kernel. I have had many downloads of the patch and gkrellm module,
which I use on a daily basis.
The gkrellm monitor is indeed stable, and the patch generally applies
to relatively modern Linux kernels. I would clean up the code a bit
(mainly to remove the explanatory headers in /proc/net/tcphealth, but
perhaps that's not such a big deal).
I have not tried to patch the very latest kernel, nor 2.6 at all, so I
cannot make any statements as to the compatibility there.
I have a paper describing the patch and some experiments I conducted
with it, if anyone is interested.
Let me know if I can help,
Federico

This is a kernel patch for a slightely cool effect. I was wondering if
any one uses this patch? If it's gkrellm plugin is relitivualy bug
free?
Also I found
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0201.1/2207.html. I was
wondering why using tcp_diag was not completed by now? Wather it's
data
gathered was accurate?
I would assume this is usable on enpoints only, since it dose not seam
to
tie into CT. What a pitty, is anything like this posible?
