Hi,

If tcptrace graphs can generate RTT versus time I guess there is piece
of code that can be "re-used" (probably the most difficult one at less
for a tcptrace illiterate as me) in order to get raw RTT/time values in
a file.

Do you know if it is possible? And how would it be?

Rgds,
Juan Torreblanca.

PS I'm interested in your research; if possible I would like to have a
look at your paper once is published

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.
