Title:
Netstat not displaying all listening ports when using IPv4 and IPv6
Status in net-tools package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am running a machine with both IPv4 and IPv6.
I noticed earlier that when doing a 'netstat -anl4' (or just grepping
through 'netstat -an' output) that not all listening IPv4 ports are
displayed. Example:
# netstat -anl4 | grep external_ipv4_address | grep 80
Yet, it is definitely listening:
> telnet external_ipv4_address 80
Trying external_ipv4_address...
Connected to external_ipv4_address.
Escape character is '^]'.
It definitely seems like for applications that listen on both IPv4 and
IPv6 that only the IPv6 listening socket is displayed, as if they are
aggregated together. This is a problem because we can no longer trust
netstat to properly display all listening sockets.
I would suggest that netstat always show every port that is listening
on both the IPv4 and IPv6 stack. Having more data seems like a good
thing here since netstat is the primary tool for determining which
ports a machine is listening on.
