Why each option
The NETSTAT command displays active TCP/IP network connections, listening ports, and per-protocol statistics on a local host.
IPSTAT is not a valid or recognized standard TCP/IP command-line utility on any major operating system.
SNMP is a network management protocol used to monitor and manage remote network devices, not a local command for viewing connection statistics.
The ARP command displays and modifies the local IP-to-MAC address resolution cache and does not show TCP/IP connection statistics or active sessions.
NBTSTAT displays NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics and the local NetBIOS name cache, which is specific to NetBIOS name resolution and unrelated to general TCP/IP protocol statistics.
NETSTAT (Network Statistics) is the standard utility for viewing active TCP/IP connections, including local and remote IP addresses, port numbers, and connection states such as ESTABLISHED or LISTENING. Options such as 'netstat -a' list all active connections and listening ports, while 'netstat -s' provides detailed per-protocol statistics, fulfilling both requirements described in the question.
