  • Delay/Loss Tab - Shows delay and loss conditions recently experienced by TCP segments sent by this host.
  • Avg. Delay/Loss Tab - Shows the average delay and loss experienced for all TCP segments sent by this host.
  • Queues Tab - Shows the TCP segments in the transmission, retransmission and propagation queues for this host's TCP.
  • Timers Tab - Shows the active TCP timers for this host's TCP.
  • Segments Received Tab - Shows the segments received but not processed by this host's TCP.
  • Variables Tab - Displays the flow control algorithm specific variables selected previously here. Users can view and edit the values of these variables.
