Not able to understand and map output of /proc/net/tcp

Question

The output of /proc/net/tcp on my ubuntu 12.10 is the following:

sl  local_address rem_address   st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when retrnsmt   uid  timeout inode                                                     
   0: 0100007F:0CEA 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000   115        0 14759 **1 0000000000000000 100 0 0 10 -1**

so as we can see that the number of data columns displayed are more then the names of the columns. So if I see in the end, I can find the following:

uid ->115

timeout->0

inode->14759

can some one tell what are the values after inode column, i.e. 1 0000000000000000 100 0 0 10 -1

It's detailed in CPANs Linux::Proc::Net::TCP module page:
