The things I am wondering about are, what does this stand for (e.g. is
it the retransmission timeout of packets or amount of packets
retransmitted)?
Hi Sigurður, please have a look at e.g. :
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=voodoo.hswn.dk 
In the [netstat] section is a TcpExt section. It contains a number of retransmission counts and I guess it is the sum of those counts that is graphed. The important thing is that it is packet counts that is graphed.
