Description

Visibility into TCP retransmissions is very useful for network operators to detect and diagnose congestion and packet loss, whether it occurs at the IDS or elsewhere in the network. It looks like Suricata already has a robust capability to detect TCP retransmissions, so this feature request is to introduce a stats counter output that counts those events.

If stats logging of stream-events is enabled, you get these stats:

stream.pkt_retransmission                     | Total                     | 43818
stream.pkt_spurious_retransmission            | Total                     | 2199

Thank you! Please feel free to close this issue as invalid then - seems that it just needs to be enabled.
