Yes we' re talking about the same. But if they are retransmitions, why aren't
they symbolized as a 'R' (synonym of retransmition) plus a "red arrow" ?

The problem I'm dealing with is the following :

I've noticed a great amount of white 'x' and pushed segments on connexions
carrying few data (telnet,...). This phenomena doesn't appear when I'am
transferring a lot of information (ftp..) ( this should prove the network is
good). I feel it quite strange. What's the reason?

Thanks for your help,
ryad
