Hi,

I do not have a real solution for this problem, but maybe we can setup a discussion here.

For some time now I am trying to track down network connections down to single PID. This could be interesting for system traffic, as there are quite many apps running with PID 0 (root) or -1 (kernel) and still they are creating network traffic.

The first approach was 'netstat -pt', which does not work. The /proc/net/tcp(6) file does not show PIDs but UIDs, which does not solve the issue. Every process has its own directory, but /proc/$PID/net/tcp(6) shows, at least for root, the same information as /proc/net/tcp(6). I enclosed the 6 in brackets, as android seems to list some connections as TCP6, although I don't think vodafone supports IPv6 for me.

Do you have any further ideas to track UID 0 connections?

I am definitely interested in having the most accurate tracking possible with Android.

I too am looking into this as well.

I have identified a minor logic flaw in my packet tracking.  The next release should see a significant decrease of packets with UID -1.
