Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I get what you mean. So how do I get total data packet that are lost? Is there a sort of guideline on acceptable or normal data packet loss on every network (and I'm especially interested in GPRS network) whereby these losses don't really have a significant impact on network performance?
Thanks.

No since multiple retransmission for lost packet is the norm. In fact, triple duplicate acks are used for fast retransmissions. Triple duplicate acks sounds like an oxymoron, but all it means is that host A saw
the same ACK coming from host B three times. At this point, host B can assume that packet loss has occurred and will retransmit immediately.
