Viewing TCP Statistics reports
The TCP Statistics report summarizes TCP statistics for the appliance.
The TCP Statistics report contains this table of statistics that summarize TCP activity.
Packet Type
Description
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.
