1366888371 data packet headers correctly predicted
        1195906 connection requests
        5227320 connection accepts
        5992919 connections established (including accepts)
        6634176 connections closed (including 414116 drops)
        0 connections with ECN capability

Best regards,

So why did it work in your first post or was it something else? In which case you to give CORRECT information and not false the the output in such way you confuse your peer and waste their time!

And so the command line in post #2 would have worked then...

I had not used -p tcp in previous post

netstat -p tcp | grep "connections closed"
        6671525 connections closed (including 419089 drops)
        0 spliced connections closed
