The default depends on B and +B (see below): If no port at all is specifically selected, the +default is to collect listening ports. If specific ports (no matter if local or +remote ports) are selected, this option defaults to I, i.Ee. only +the selected ports will be collected unless this option is set to I +specifically. + +=item B I + +Count the connections to a specific local port. This can be used to see how +many connections are handled by a specific daemon, e.Eg. the mailserver. +You have to specify the port in numeric form, so for the mailserver example +you'd need to set B<25>. + +=item B I + +Count the connections to a specific remote port. This is useful to see how +much a remote service is used. This is most useful if you want to know how many +connections a local service has opened to remote services, e.Eg. how many +connections a mail server or news server has to other mail or news servers, or +how many connections a web proxy holds to web servers.
