Hi,

It should not for tcp but does for memory info in the 1st patch where
the memeinfo param names were changed.

Regarding parsing of ss by scripts and tools, thats really painful
for me to see how ss outputs additional info, it is not human readable,
actually I'd like to change the output layout in the future, and add
something like online output option '-O'.

May be you can test these patches if they breaks output parsing ?

Anyway I will give up with ss output changes if we really carrying about
to keep the same output for scripts/tools.
