Which command can be used to monitor NETTCP in Windows?

• A. tracert command
• B. ipconfig command
• C. netstat command
• D. ping command

Answer: (C)

The netstat command is used to monitor network connections and can provide valuable information related to NETTCP in Windows. When executed, it displays active connections and listening ports, along with protocol information. Specifically for NETTCP, netstat helps in identifying which applications are using the TCP network stack, along with the status of those connections (e.g., established, listening, or closed). This information can be critical for diagnosing network issues, understanding resource usage, or verifying that expected services are running and correctly configured.

In contrast, while the other commands have their uses in network diagnostics—tracert is useful for tracing the route that packets take to their destination, ipconfig shows the current network configuration of interfaces, and ping is commonly used to test the reachability of a host—none of these commands provide the detailed insight into TCP connections that netstat does. Thus, for monitoring NETTCP specifically, netstat is the most appropriate choice.
