that report on the health of the transport and link layers

Ø lanadmin(1M)

network

The goal for this phase of the investigation is to determine if a network throughput

help detect and analyze network problems. Two frequently used tools for

troubleshooting the network layer are netstat(1) and lanadmin(1M).
