Link: 10 examples of Linux ss command to monitor network connections

In a previous tutorial we saw how to use the netstat command to get statistics on network/socket connections. However the netstat command has long been deprecated and replaced by the ss command from the iproute suite of tools.

So in this tutorial we are going to see few examples of how to use the ss command to check the network connections and socket statistics.
