I am wondering about the netstat column's graph, specifically the =
retrans.

These data usually come from the operating system "netstat -s" command,
so you should check the OS docs to see what those are.

It is normally the number of packets retransmitted over a 5 minute
average (so it should be *really* low unless you have network problems).
