Hi Daniel,

AFAIK, there aren't any decent tutorials out there on all the netstat
options; most just tell you how to read your routing table and gloss over
all the weird sounding options. Your best bet will most likely be a Google
search on the specific option you're not sure about.

There was a very understandable definition of "embryonic" here:

As for the RTT stuff, you're getting pretty deep into TCP optimization
algorithms; there's a starting-point explanation here, starting on page
16:

http://opensource.or.id/~dewa/References/Unix%20IPC/node8.html

If you're still curious and not scared off by the deep TCP stuff, search
the Web; a read through RFCs mentioned in the above article may also
provide food for thought.

HTH,

Dru
