getpeerinfo
Returns data about each connected network peer as a json array of objects.

"minping" : n, (numeric, optional) The minimum observed ping time in milliseconds (ms), if any
"pingwait" : n, (numeric, optional) The duration in milliseconds (ms) of an outstanding ping (if non-zero)
"version" : n, (numeric) The peer version, such as 70001
"subver" : "str", (string) The string version
"inbound" : true|false, (boolean) Inbound (true) or Outbound (false)
"bip152_hb_to" : true|false, (boolean) Whether we selected peer as (compact blocks) high-bandwidth peer
"bip152_hb_from" : true|false, (boolean) Whether peer selected us as (compact blocks) high-bandwidth peer
"startingheight" : n, (numeric) The starting height (block) of the peer
"presynced_headers" : n, (numeric) The current height of header pre-synchronization with this peer, or -1 if no low-work sync is in progress
"synced_headers" : n, (numeric) The last header we have in common with this peer
"synced_blocks" : n, (numeric) The last block we have in common with this peer
"inflight" : [ (json array)
n, (numeric) The heights of blocks we're currently asking from this peer
...
],
"addr_relay_enabled" : true|false, (boolean) Whether we participate in address relay with this peer
"addr_processed" : n, (numeric) The total number of addresses processed, excluding those dropped due to rate limiting
"addr_rate_limited" : n, (numeric) The total number of addresses dropped due to rate limiting
"permissions" : [ (json array) Any special permissions that have been granted to this peer
"str", (string) bloomfilter (allow requesting BIP37 filtered blocks and transactions),
noban (do not ban for misbehavior; implies download),
forcerelay (relay transactions that are already in the mempool; implies relay),
relay (relay even in -blocksonly mode, and unlimited transaction announcements),
mempool (allow requesting BIP35 mempool contents),
download (allow getheaders during IBD, no disconnect after maxuploadtarget limit),
addr (responses to GETADDR avoid hitting the cache and contain random records with the most up-to-date info).
...
],
"minfeefilter" : n, (numeric) The minimum fee rate for transactions this peer accepts
"bytessent_per_msg" : { (json object)
"msg" : n, (numeric) The total bytes sent aggregated by message type
When a message type is not listed in this json object, the bytes sent are 0.
Only known message types can appear as keys in the object.
...
},
"bytesrecv_per_msg" : { (json object)
"msg" : n, (numeric) The total bytes received aggregated by message type
When a message type is not listed in this json object, the bytes received are 0.
Only known message types can appear as keys in the object and all bytes received
of unknown message types are listed under '*other*'.
...
},
"connection_type" : "str", (string) Type of connection:
outbound-full-relay (default automatic connections),
block-relay-only (does not relay transactions or addresses),
inbound (initiated by the peer),
manual (added via addnode RPC or -addnode/-connect configuration options),
addr-fetch (short-lived automatic connection for soliciting addresses),
feeler (short-lived automatic connection for testing addresses).
Please note this output is unlikely to be stable in upcoming releases as we iterate to
best capture connection behaviors.
"transport_protocol_type" : "str", (string) Type of transport protocol:
detecting (peer could be v1 or v2),
v1 (plaintext transport protocol),
v2 (BIP324 encrypted transport protocol).
"session_id" : "str" (string) The session ID for this connection, or "" if there is none ("v2" transport protocol only).
