The Timeout Report presents time-out timer statistics for setup commands. This report is
most relevant for enhanced sliding window or TCP/IP window protocols that adapt their
time-out timers based on measured round-trip delays. Because the sliding window algorithms
acknowledge each packet, they have an opportunity to measure round-trip packet delay and
use that delay to adjust the retransmission time out timer. The timer is only sampled when
blocked packets are retransmitted.
Retransmit Timeout (MS)—Average, Maximum
The average and maximum timeout before the retransmission of the
packet.
Round Trip Time (MS)—Average, Maximum
The average and maximum round trip delay time for a packet to get to a
destination.
