TCP Segment Retransmission Viewer

TCP Segment Retransmission Viewer is a network monitoring application that allows administrators to obtain statistical data concerning the retransmission rates for TCP/IP v4 and v6 connections, helping them detect possible network blockages.

Retransmissions are performed automatically when packets that carry TCP segments get lost or the receiving host does not confirm their arrival. Repeated failures to deliver network requests can hide various connection problems or traffic congestion.

What this application actually does is retrieve information concerning all the received and sent data, while also logging the number of performed retransmissions and established TCP connections, offering a feedback on the severity of the problem.

The simplistic interface displays all the data in a structured table, enabling you to configure the refresh time interval and pause recording anytime.

The program also displays a summary of all the read data, enabling you to view a report on the received, sent and retransmitted packages, the resulting retransmitted rate for the logged packets and for the transferred data since the last computer reboot.

A more detailed report can also be accessed, containing valuable information about the local and remote addresses and used ports. All data is saved to a text file that you can later use as a reference or imported in other similar applications for further analysis.

The generated graph visually illustrates the evolution of the retransmission rate, the number of active TCP connections, the amount of sent and received segments in real time, providing zooming and panning options so as to help you identify the causes of traffic clogging.

TCP Segment Retransmission Viewer is a tool that helps administrators ensure that all requests are processed smoothly and there are no problems with the network connection. It offers an insight on what goes on behind the curtain, significantly easing their work.
