Any help is > greatly appreciated. [I'm cc-ing the netdev list.] Do you need this per-socket? On a per-socket basis, I do not think there are separate totals for fast retransmits and timeout retransmits. If a global number is good enough, then you can get that number from the global network statistics. In "nstat" output they look like: TcpExtTCPFastRetrans = packets sent in fast retransmit / fast recovery TcpExtTCPSlowStartRetrans = packets sent in timeout recovery It sounds like TcpExtTCPFastRetrans is what you are after. Hope that helps, neal
