     NAME
          netstat - show network status

     SYNTAX
          netstat

     DESCRIPTION
          The netstat command shows the current status of the TCP/IP sub-
          system.  The display is divided into three sections: connections,
          routes, and ARP cache.

          The connections section shows the status of all TCP connections.
          For each connection, it displays the remote address and port, the
          number of bytes waiting to be delivered to a process, the number
          of bytes waiting to be sent out, the size of the receive window,
          the number of bytes available in the peer's receive window, the
          values of the send and acknowledgement sequence numbers, and the
          TCP state.

          The routes section shows the contents of the routing table. For
          each route, it displays the remote destination, the next hop, the
          routing flags, the current reference count, and the number of
          times this route has been used.  The flags are as follows: G
          indicates that the route is for a network, H indicates that the
          route is to a specific host (given in the Gateway column), and L
          indicates that the route cannot be updated by received ICMP
          redirect messages.

          The ARP section shows the IP address and the corresponding ether-
          net address for every entry in the ARP cache.

     NOTES
          This is a repeating command.
