IP counters

Wim Van den Wyngaert — Tue, 20 Jan 2004 11:37:48 GMT

Does anyone has a link to a complete overview of what all IP/TCP/ICMP counters mean (e.g. tcpip show prot ip). For tcp versions above 5.
With google, I only find counter values themselves and there just are too many of them.

You may find some information in the tcpip manual set

Could you be more precise ?
I want to know which counter is increased when. E.g. what are retransmit timeouts and when are connections dropped that are in "connections dropped by rexmit timeout". And, if possible, what can be the reason.

I did some research and this is the best I found on the net. Very complete tutorial ...

certainly seems to me a good manual. Thanks for that. I have put this in my favourites.

Best regards,

An embryonic connection is a connection that someone attempted but has not completed and has not yet seen data. Every connection is embryonic until it sets up.

But this doesn't explain after how long such a connection is dropped.

Anyone an idea ?
