I'm using netstat to monitor my Ubuntu server and I've found things as below:

tcp     1     0     localhost:48604     localhost:11311     CLOSE WAIT 29511/st

    In the output of netstat -p

    unix 3 [] STREAM CONNECTED 438037 29037/python

    means that process number 29037 running Python has a connection over a Unix domain socket (a socket for local inter-process communication).
