Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Retransmission because of no ACK from user
Is there an actual problem to be solved or are you just curious.
Retransmissions aren't all that unusual. If there is fluctuation in
round-trip-time as measured by TCP, then the TCP retransmission timer
might expire more often than you would like. Hence you will get
retransmissions.
