You are probably better off using the tools your platform/OS provides you with
to gather that information at runtime. Assuming GNU/Linux, there's ss(8) and
lsof(8) to superficially monitor TCP connections and activity.
If you are lucky enough to have bpftrace(8) available, you can cobble
something together on your own, or resort to the provided tcpaccept(8) script
to gather interesting data points, and draw your conclusions from that.
