skbtrace is a helper tool for generating and running BPFTrace scripts which trace and measure timings related to Linux Networking Stack, specifically SocKet Buffer contents (hence the name).

It can be used to:

  • find TCP retransmits even in encapsulated packets;
  • roughly measure packet forwarding times;
  • simple tcpdump replacement which allows to trace some kernel routines which are not accessible by tcpdump.

An example of such routine is kfree_skb which is called when kernel frees (drops) packet.

Go Reference

Usage

For the usage examples see Usage

For full documentation see skbtrace(1)

Building

go get -u github.com/yandex-cloud/skbtrace
go build -o skbtrace 

or

git clone github.com/yandex-cloud/skbtrace
make build

Requirements

skbtrace is tested with Linux Kernel 4.14 and BPFTrace 0.9.2.

Extending

skbtrace can be extended by:

  • Adding extra shortcut commands and root command child while using one of the visitors such as DumpTracerCommand.
  • Extending builder with additional protocols, field and probe descriptions in SetUp() method of cli dependencies structure.
  • Or by simply contributing a patch (see Contributing).
