If you look at the xplot/jplot graphs that tcptrace can generate, you
can get a better understanding of retransmits (they are marked according
to time). The problem with this is that you don't get exact numbers for
them. I've done a lot of TCP over wireless research and in fact will
soon be publishing a paper on my work. I included the graph with
retransmits in my paper, but if you want raw numbers, I think you'll
have to hack it into the code.
