I have run the following command using ss.



# ss -ua | grep radius
UNCONN 0 0 :::radius :::*


My question is, what interface/IP does :::radius corespond with? What Interface does :::* correspond with and where is its source port information for that matter? What do the asterisks mean in the output of ss? Do they mean the same as 0.0.0.0?

  • :: is the IPv6 equivalent of 0.0.0.0, that is, "any address". (Actually ss uses * for IPv4 any address.) :* means "any port", both in IPv4 and IPv6. :radius means :1812, from /etc/services. The output of the command means that some process is listening on all configured address UDPv6 port 1812 accepting datagrams from anywhere any port.
