Fetching the TCP RTT in Linux

linux, procfs

Solution

Maybe the `ss` (socket statistics) util available in the iproute utils can help you with this.

# ss -i 'src 1.1.1.1:1234 and dst 2.2.2.2:1234'
State      Recv-Q Send-Q                         Local Address:Port                             Peer Address:Port
ESTAB      0      0                              1.1.1.1:1234                                   2.2.2.2:1234
    reno wscale:2,7 rto:3380 rtt:855/602.5 ato:40 ssthresh:2 send 27.3Kbps rcv_space:5840

If you want more information what the `rtt` field is i think it is best to take a look at ss.c.

Problem
