   '-PROTOcol-'  '-protocol-'   

PROTOcol protocol
Display statistics for the specified protocol. The valid protocols are IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP.
Result: If you specify TCP, you get both TCP and SMC-R statistics.

Target

Provide the report for a specific TCP/IP address space by using TCp tcpname. See The Netstat command target for more information about the TCp parameter.

Output

The default output option displays the output on the user's terminal. For other options, see The TSO NETSTAT command syntax or Netstat command output.

   '-PROTOcol-'  '-protocol-'   

PROTOcol protocol
Display statistics for the specified protocol. The valid protocols are IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP.
Result: If you specify TCP, you get both TCP and SMC-R statistics. For more information about SMC-R support, see Shared Memory Communications over Remote Direct Memory Access in the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.

Target

Provide the report for a specific TCP/IP address space by using -p tcpname. See The Netstat command target for more information about the TCp parameter.

Output

The default output option displays the output to z/OS UNIX shell stdout. For other options, see The z/OS UNIX netstat command syntax or Netstat command output.

Command syntax examples

From TSO environment

NETSTAT STATS
   Provides TCP/IP statistics for IP, ICMP, TCP and UDP protocols. 
NETSTAT STATS PROTOCOL IP
   Provides TCP/IP statistics for IP protocol. If the stack is IPv6-enabled, then the 
   statistics for IPv6 protocol are also displayed.
NETSTAT STATS PROTOCOL ICMP
   Provides TCP/IP statistics for ICMP protocol. If the stack is IPv6-enabled, then 
   the statistics for ICMPv6 protocol are also displayed.
NETSTAT STATS PROTOCOL TCP
   Provides TCP/IP statistics for TCP protocol. If the stack is enabled for SMC-R, 
   then the statistics for SMC-R are also displayed.
NETSTAT STATS PROTOCOL UDP
   Provides TCP/IP statistics for UDP protocol.

From UNIX shell environment

   netstat -S
   netstat -S PROTOCOL IP
   netstat -S PROTOCOL ICMP
   netstat -S PROTOCOL TCP
   netstat -S PROTOCOL UDP

Report examples

The following examples are generated by using TSO NETSTAT command. Using the z/OS UNIX netstat command displays the data in the same format as the TSO NETSTAT command.

Report field descriptions

Most of the TCP/IP statistics for IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP protocols are defined in the SNMP IP-MIB (RFC2011 - SNMPv2 Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol Using SMIv2), TCP-MIB (RFC 2012 - SNMPv2 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol Using SMIv2), and UDP-MIB (RFC 2013 - SNMPv2 Management Information Base for the User Datagram Protocol Using SMIv2) MIB modules. See these SNMP MIB modules for more detailed information.

  • The following describes the IPv4 and IPv6 statistics displayed:
    Packets Received
    The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces.
    Received Header Errors
    The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers.
    Received Address Errors
    The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header's destination field was not valid.
    Datagrams Forwarded
    The number of input datagrams forwarded to their final destination.
    Unknown Protocols Received
    The number of datagrams discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
    Received Packets Discarded
    The number of input datagrams that were discarded that are not accounted for in another input discard counter.
    Received Packets Delivered
    The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user-protocols.
    Output Requests
    The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols supplied to IP in requests for transmission.
    Output Discards No Route
    The number of IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found to transmit them to their destination.
    Output Discards (Other)
    The number of output datagrams generated by this stack that could not be transmitted.
    Reassembly Timeouts
    The number of packets that were being held for reassembly but which were discarded due to the fact that the remaining fragments were not received within reassembly timeout.
    Reassembly Required
    The number of IP fragments received that needed to be reassembled.
    Reassembly Successful
    The number of IP datagrams successfully reassembled.
    Reassembly Failures
    The number of failures detected by the IP reassembly algorithm.
    Datagrams Successfully Fragmented

    Inbound Packets handled by zIIP
    The number of inbound packets that were processed by a zIIP. This counter applies only to IPSec workloads, whose CPU cycles are being displaced to a zIIP. The Packets Received counter includes the packets that are received on zIIP, so the percentage of total inbound packets that were processed by zIIP can be calculated as (Inbound Packets handled by zIIP ÷ Packets Received) × 100. Similarly, the number of inbound packets that were processed by General Purpose Processors is equal to (Packets Received - Inbound Packets handled by zIIP).
    Outbound Packets handled by zIIP
    The number of outbound packets that were processed by a zIIP. This counter applies only to IPSec workloads, whose CPU cycles are being displaced to a zIIP. The Output Requests counter includes the outbound packets processed on zIIP, so the percentage of total outbound packets that were processed by zIIP can be calculated as (Outbound Packets handled by zIIP ÷ Output Requests) × 100. Similarly, the number of outbound packets that were processed by General Purpose Processors is equal to (Output Requests - Outbound Packets handled by zIIP).

  • The following describes the TCP statistics displayed:
    Current Established Connections
    The number of TCP connections for which the current state is either ESTABLISHED or CLOSE-WAIT.
    Guideline: This value, when displayed for TCP statistics, includes the number of TCP connections across SMC-R links. To determine the number of TCP connections that are not across SMC-R links, subtract the value for Current Established Connections displayed under SMCR Statistics from this value.
    Current Stalled Connections

    • The TCP send window size is less than 256 or is less than the smaller of the largest send window that has been seen for the connection and the default MTU. The TCP send window size is set based on values provided by the TCP peer. The default MTU for IPv4 is 576. The default MTU for IPv6 is 1280.
