-Prupose: `nsenter` is a powerful tool allowing you to enter into any namespaces. `nsenter` is available inside `netshoot` but requires `netshoot` to be run as a privileged container. Additionally, you may want to mount the `/var/run/docker/netns` directory to be able to enter any network namespace including bridge and overlay networks. 
+Purpose: `nsenter` is a powerful tool allowing you to enter into any namespaces. `nsenter` is available inside `netshoot` but requires `netshoot` to be run as a privileged container. Additionally, you may want to mount the `/var/run/docker/netns` directory to be able to enter any network namespace including bridge and overlay networks. 
 
 
 With `docker run --name container-B --net container:container-A `, docker uses `container-A`'s network namespace ( including interfaces and routes) when creating `container-B`. This approach is helpful for troubleshooting network issues at the container level. To troubleshoot network issues at the bridge or overlay network level, you need to enter the `namespace` of the network _itself_. `nsenter` allows you to do that.

+## CTOP
+ ctop is a free open source, simple and cross-platform top-like command-line tool for monitoring container metrics in real-time. It allows you to get an overview of metrics concerning CPU, memory, network, I/O for multiple containers and also supports inspection of a specific container.
+
+ # To get data into ctop, you'll need to bind docker.sock into the netshoot container.
+/ # docker run -it --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock netshoot
