Tcpdive is a TCP performance profiling tool that monitors and analyzes TCP internals from a running Linux kernel using SystemTap, requiring no kernel modifications. It provides detailed metrics on transmission, loss and retransmission, congestion control, and HTTP processing at the TCP layer.

Use cases

• profile TCP performance on a Linux server
• diagnose TCP retransmission and packet loss
• compare TCP performance in wired vs wireless networks
• analyze HTTP processing at the TCP layer
• quantify impact of TCP tuning changes
• characterize TCP traffic per application

When to choose

• you need deep insight into TCP internals beyond tcpdump or netstat
• you want to profile TCP without modifying or patching the kernel
• you run a Linux production environment and need quantitative TCP metrics

When to avoid

• you need a maintained tool - the last release was 2017
• you are on a non-Linux platform or a modern kernel unsupported by SystemTap scripts
• you need general packet capture rather than TCP performance profiling
