Just what I was looking for... and Dave Grant (dave_grant@wed.dresser.com)
provided it - TCPTRACE.

Excellent program! Even provides information for how to produce charts
based on the data captured.
The program shows all kinds of statistical data including pack
re-transmission.

Here is his message:

>I recommend "tcptrace". You can download the binaries, it installs
quickly and
>will analyze tcp packets collected in a file using snoop with the -o
option. It
>provides
>the type of data you are looking for including retransmits.

>Here is the link:

>It does an excellent job. I downloaded it and was looking at packet
statistics
>within
>five minutes.

Thanks also to Scott Howard (showard@macquarie.com.au) for suggesting the
book "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1" by W. Richard Stevens. You weren't
joking, it is expensive! (~$65 USD cover price) But from what little I've
read already, it's worth it.

Dave Foster (foster@dim.ucsd.edu) suggested O'Reilly's book "TCP/IP Network
Administration" which he states has good examples. I unfortunately
didn't find that book (yet) so I can't comment on it myself. THANK YOU!

Hee_Meng_HO (Hee_Meng_HO@lta.gov.sg) suggested an article from Lance
Spitzner at:
http://www.enteract.com/~lspitz/snoop.html
Thanks Hee Meng Ho but that really only gave me examples of the snoop
command usage... Thanks anyway!

Thanks also to Daniel Lorenzini (lorenzd@gcm.com) but his response was also
more of command usage. Effort counts - Thanks!
