Hi folks,

Does anybody know how to query the tcp buffer sizes for certain socket?

For example lets say I run

iperf3 -c foo.example.com

and want to query the tcp buffer sizes that are used for the tcp socket created for iperf3. How could I do that?

I tried to get a look into the file descriptor by running

cat /proc//fd/3

and so on but got a 'no such file or directory' error every time.

I do not want to query the general limits from

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem

. I would like to know the concrete parameters for a certain socket.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Joerg K.
