The Window Stats Report presents the statistics on the TCP/IP congestion window that varies
as the connection starts up and when congestion is detected. It also presents the statistics
for the interval between when packets are created. This statistic is applicable to all protocols.
Window Size—Average, Maximum
The average and maximum size of the TCP/IP congestion window, in
packets, that varies as the connection starts up and when congestion is
detected.
Number Of Congestion Resets
The number of times when the TCP congestion window is reset to "1"
due to congestion (multiple dropped packets).
Number Of Congestion Avoidances
The number of times the TCP congestion window enters congestion
avoidance where the window grows linearly instead of by the slow-start
algorithm used initially.
Packet Creation Interval (MS)—Average, Maximum, Standard Deviation
The average, maximum and standard deviation of the packet creation
interval.
