Hello,
I have written a kernel patch / kernel module / some user space programs
to retrieve real-time metadata about all current TCP connections on
Linux. They are well-tested, stable and very fast.
The source and documentation is available as GPL from my site:

I'm probably too lazy to look into it now, but could you tell what are
the advantages over jnettop?

Jnettop (I have never used it myself) seems to only retrieve bandwidth
information. Tcpinfo retrieves much more metadata, such as window sizes,
cwnd behavior, packet rtt and so on.
