Hi, I'm trying to count the number of unnecessary retransmissions for a tcp connection. DSACK reports the receipt of duplicate segment to sender, so I plan to count the duplicate transmissions reported by DSACK as unnecessary retransmissions. My question is if there is a nice interface, like tcp_info, which can be used for retrieving the number of duplicate transmissions from DSACK? tcp_info structure doesn't include such information. Thanks a lot. Yinglin
