Segments Received Tab

This tab gives shows segments that have being received but not processed by this host's TCP. Since the simulator processes incoming segments instantaneously, this window only fills up if a segment is lost, leaving a gap in the sequence number space that prevents received out of order segments from being processed (See above).

Each row displays information for 1 TCP segment received but not yet processed. The first row (marked "Start" on the left hand strip) corresponds to the first sequence number in this TCP receive window while the last row (marked "End" on the left hand strip) corresponds to the sequence number marking the end of the receive window; segments are arranged in ascending order by their sequence numbers between these 2 rows.

Again, double clicking on any row containing a TCP segment causes a detailed report on that TCP segment to be displayed (See below).
