TCP Reno Recovery meaning

[Dan Track]

Hi,

I've got the following fields in netstat -a:

TCPRenoRecovery: 28
TCPForwardRetrans: 378
TCPRenoRecoveryFail: 45

I'm ondering what the numbers mean, what does a count mean for each. I
understand what each item represents but struggling to understand what
the numbers mean, can someone help?

Thanks
Dan

If that helps then yes.

Perhaps I need to be clearer, am I right in understanding these
enteries refer to the number of times the processes have been invoked,
for e.g. the number of times TCPRenoRecovery has been invoked?
