I've been watching /proc/net/tcp closely during the last few days.
From the code in net/inet/proc.c, it would seem that the last 8-digit
number on each line is the number of retransmits.
On the box I worry about, that number seems to be even a lot of the time.
I've seen 3 once, but 0, 2, 4 and occasionally 6 and 8 dominate. I can't
explain that. Is it meant to be like that, or is it a (*gasp*) bug?
