- add SPDX header;
- add a document title;
- mark code blocks and literals as such;
- mark tables as such;
- adjust identation, whitespaces and blank lines where needed;
- add to networking/index.rst.

+The proc/net/tcp and proc/net/tcp6 variables
+============================================
+
+This document describes the interfaces /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6.
+Note that these interfaces are deprecated in favor of tcp_diag.
+
+These /proc interfaces provide information about currently active TCP
+connections, and are implemented by tcp4_seq_show() in net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c
+and tcp6_seq_show() in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c, respectively.
+
+It will first list all listening TCP sockets, and next list all established
+TCP connections. A typical entry of /proc/net/tcp would look like this (split
+up into 3 parts because of the length of the line)::
