Troubleshooting Common Networking Problems with Wireshark
In my last post, Application Analysis Using TCP Retransmissions, Part 1, I talked about TCP retransmissions that are caused by link errors. Another source of TCP retransmissions is too much buffering in network routers and L3 switches. Some buffering allows the network to handle traffic bursts without dropping many packets, which is good. However, too […] TCP_Analyze_Sequence_Numbers - The Wireshark Wiki By default Wireshark and TShark will keep track of all TCP sessions and implement its own crude version of Sliding_Windows. This requires some extra state information and memory to be kept by the dissector but allows much better detection of interesting TCP events such as retransmissions. This allows much better and more accurate measurements MTU Mismatch and TCP Retransmissions | 7th Zero [TCP Dup ACK 967#1] 42484 -> 443 [ACK] [TCP Retransmission] 443 -> 42484 [ACK] This traffic shows that a packet of length 1514 bytes is not being allowed to pass through the gateway. Drilling into the ICMP traffic further shows a Type 3, Code 4 message which … Display Filter Reference: Transmission Control Protocol
Delay-constrained retransmission can be implemented in multiple network layers. First, it is well known that the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is a reliable end-to-end transport protocol that provides reliability by means of a window-based positive acknowledgement (ACK) with a go-back-N retransmission scheme in the IP suite [54].

You may also see some TCP retransmissions if the sending host is much faster than the receiving host, but TCP flow control should make the number of retransmits relatively low.
RFC 6298 Computing TCP's Retransmission Timer June 2011 The rules governing the computation of SRTT, RTTVAR, and RTO are as follows: (2.1) Until a round-trip time (RTT) measurement has been made for a segment sent between the sender and receiver, the sender SHOULD set RTO <- 1 second, though the "backing off" on repeated retransmission discussed in (5.5) still applies.
Oct 08, 2015 · Hello, I'm sending some TCP traffic between two hosts and using netstat -s to see some statistics. I can see that netstat show many kinds of retransmits, like fast retransmit, retransmits in slow start and forward retransmit.
