9288.0. "TCP persist timeout definition???" by DECWET::DAVIS (Mark W. Davis - DTN 548 8749) Tue Mar 25 1997 18:20

    Is the persist timeout count from 'netstat -p ip' the count of a window
    probe not receiving an ack?  I am unable to find a definition of a
    persist timeout.  Any pointers appreciated.

	It's actually netstat -p tcp, since this is a TCP counter. It's the number of times a packet was sent into a zeroed window, which is a condition trigged by not receiving an ack in the first place. I looked at the kernel source code, although there are probably references out there too.. John
