the last sample and the total retransmits by connection number or
ID as a bar chart, where:
- Yellow represents Retransmits Last Sample.
- Blue represents Total Retransmits.
- Response Time > 0.2 Seconds: Displays the response time
and response time variance, in 1/10 seconds, by connection number
or ID as a bar chart, where:
- Yellow represents Response Time.
- Blue represents Response Time Variance.
