Re: Riverbed TCP statistic

Hi Roy,

 

It's hard to tell if there's anything wrong here, unless you are getting complaints from other sources.  The Steelhead says it's retransmitting about 0.2% of its packets, which can be considered normal in many environments.  The TCP timeouts could be network-related, or server-related (e.g., overloaded server).

 

I would assume things are okay unless your users are reporting issues, or if some network reporting tool is complaining.  Not trying to be a salesman here, but Riverbed Cascade would allow you to pinpoint a problem pretty quickly here if there was one.
