Looking at https://github.com/shemminger/iproute2/blob/main/misc/ss.c#L589 the ss.c still uses proc/.
Only for legacy reasons.
That but in all honesty also the fact that a proc file is pretty easy and self-describing while the historic netlink families are undocumented code salads.
ss -t for sure will use netlink first, then fallback to /proc
New counters should use netlink, please.
Just to be sure I'm not missing anything - we're talking about some new netlink, right? Is there an existing place for "overall prot family stats" over netlink today?
I thought we were speaking of dumping ULP info on a per UDP socket basis.
If this is about new SNMP counters, then sure, /proc is fine I guess.
