then it extracts from the lsof output only the likes with IPv in them
then it extracts from those selected lines all the lines that contain 3001
then it uses these remaining lines are pattern scanned by awk, which extracts the second element from each line and pipes that to xargs
xargs then sends all of that to the kill command, which terminates the pid extracted with a -9
as far as what does it do well i'm guessing much the same as fuser for instance:
it determines what programs have certain resources open. In this case the resurces are IPv identified, and the 3001 (from shady memory of reading a book two weeks ago is a certain IPv6 address group, but i could be hella wrong about that).
finally it takes the information of what programs have stuff open and terminates the associated program.
Finally piping is used to filter out the resources we are interested in, then identify the program id and lastly kill it, so the pipes perpetuate data amongst programs
