Viewing the TCP Statistics report
The TCP Statistics report summarizes TCP statistics for the appliance.
The TCP Statistics report contains these statistics that summarize TCP activity:
Packets Received displays the total packets received.
Packets Sent displays the total TCP packets sent.
Packets Retransmitted displays the total TCP packets retransmitted.
Packets Fast Retransmitted displays the total TCP packets fast retransmitted. Fast retransmit is an enhancement to TCP which reduces the time a sender waits before retransmitting a lost segment. If an acknowledgment isn’t received for a particular segment within a specified time (a function of the estimated round-trip delay time), the sender assumes the segment was lost in the network, and retransmits the segment.
Time-outs displays the number of time-outs.
Loss Events displays the total number of loss events.
The TCP Statistics report answers these questions:
• How many TCP packets have been sent and received?
• How many TCP packets have been retransmitted?
• How many time-outs have occurred?
• How many loss events have occurred?
