Hi Anil, You need to use "trace-cmd record" command and run you client. For example. I chose to write a tcp simple client server application. Server running on remote machine listening on some port I executed below command to connect to the server using trace-cmd record Below command records all the event and function trace in the kernel, You can filter these function by passing "-e net:*" this command will generate a report of all the function that kernel executed. You can read the report afterwords. using trace-cmd report. #sudo trace-cmd record -e all ./tcpc 10.0.0.28 #ls #tcpc tcpc.c trace.dat #trace-cmd report You can also user perf command to trace the kernel functions. #sudo perf record -e probe:tcp_sendmsg #perf report perf examples can be found below. http://www.brendangregg.com/perf.html -Anand Moon On Tuesday, July 15, 2014 10:34 PM, Jeff Haran <Jeff.Haran@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: This helps me to see the forest for the trees.

How to do that.
