Hi, I want to make a process that will do polling of the /proc/net/tcp and I want to recognize the new connections that have been made since my last poll.How can I do it as only checking the src and dest addresses can't tell it as the connection btw same src and dest may have been closed and established again. I would be obliged for ur help.
