iftop Shows Lots of Mysterious Connections - Not Showing in netstat
- by HOLOGRAPHICpizza
I've just stopped all pretty much all services except sshd on my server (Ubuntu Server 10.04), and when I run iftop I get output that looks like this:
12.5Kb 25.0Kb 37.5Kb 50.0Kb 62.5Kb

This is the first part (not the unix socket part) of the output of netstat -a:

What could all those strange connections on port 21095 be? And why would they not show up in netstat?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
