Topic: Network Performance Degradation - how to document it.

I have some trace files that show servers sending the same packet 4 times and the client replies with a single packet.
The sequence number and ACK numbers are the same for all four packets, frame number and time is only difference in the
four packets.

Is this kind of consistent resending of four or five packets for each single reply symptomatic of a hardware problem?
Could it be simply bad patch cords?

Is there a site that can help me diagnose the problem this network trace is demonstrating?

I think it was captured with "Distinct" network agent, but I am not sure.

Distinct Agent site:
http://www.network-monitor.com/docs42/network-monitor-3.asp 

All I have is the trace files I cannot see the actual hardware.

Hey guys, 

What are the things I should look at in traces which will tell me that 
network performance is not performing well or it is bad? I'm trying to 
analyze an Oracle traffic but don't know which I should concentrate at. 

Thanks guys, 

Neil
