Any idea what this counter means "tcpTimRetrans"
I am chasing an issue where I see drop packets, in order to dig the problem further I issue netstat -s -P tcp command which shows me the stats from the tcp perspective. In that stats I see a counter which is "tcpTimRetrans" which increments along with "tcpRetransSegs".

When both of these counter increments the same time that's when my application complains that a drop packet occurs. Question is does any one knows
  1. What is "tcpTimRetrans" counter is?
  2. Any idea to what cause the "tcpRetransSegs" and "tcpTimRetrans" increments the same time?

Any help in this regards will be much appreciated.
