Thanks for the information. Now I'm worried that most people use netstat and not ss, while it seems that netstat doesn't have tcp_diag support. Would it make sense to add tcp_diag support to netstat? Or should we simply invite system admins to switch from netstat to ss (maybe by adding a netstat-like formatting option)? Not that I am skilled enough in this area to do either myself anyway (let alone the lack of time), but I'm curious what the correct approach would be.
