<h3>Introduction</h3>
Not really a whole lot to say here other than collectl does not report any socket details at this time but only
summary data, which it gets from <i>/proc/net/sockstat</i>. In brief format the data reported is the number of
sockets in use by their type, specifically TCP, UDP and Raw. It also reports the number if IP fragments.
In verbose more it break things out at lower levels of detail.
<p>
In most cases this is of minimal interest unless you're trying to track down a specific socket related problem. In the cases
of a runaway process or someone opening but not closing sockets this number has been seen to grow quite large and even
consume all resources causing a system crash, but those cases are pretty rare. In any event, during times of strange behavior
it can't hurt to have a look at these numbers if for no other reason than to rule out socket problems.
