Hi, I tried to carefully to google and look at the tcpreplay wiki site but could hardly find information about the meaning of "retried packet" in tcpreplay results.
I found in this message that kernels are sometime dropping packets and can notify the application. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20031105013030.19867.qmail%40web13605.mail.yahoo.com I would like to know if the "retried packets" number is counting the number of time kernel is dropping packets. I am currently using Linux Debian 2.6.24-1-686 and Thanks, Daniel Here are the commands and responses: \# time for i in `ls pcap_dir`; do tcpreplay -a --multiplier=0.016 --intf1=eth0 pcap_dir/$i; echo $i; done \# processing file: file.pcap \# Actual: 5120395 packets (658752329 bytes) sent in 8084.26 seconds \# Rated: 81485.8 bps, 0.62 Mbps/sec, 633.38 pps \# \# Statistics for network device: eth0 \# Attempted packets: 16842525 \# Successful packets: 5120395 \# Failed packets: 0 \# Retried packets: 11722130 \# file.pcap tcpreplay I am using is : # tcpreplay -V tcpreplay version: 3.2.4 (build 1959) Copyright 2001-2007 by Aaron Turner <aturner at synfin dot net> Cache file supported: 04 Not compiled with libnet.
