A transport protocol data flow reconstruction method delays determination that a missing packet is lost for a period of time. For an evaluated TCP packet in a first direction, the method determines if a TCP packet is missing in a second direction, in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in a list and creates an acknowledgement timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the acknowledgment timer indicates a missing packet in the second direction. The method determines if a TCP packet is missing in the first direction, in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in the list and creates a retransmission timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the retransmission timer indicates a missing packet in the first direction. A method is also disclosed for determining the discrepancy between packet stamping timers used in packet capturing devices in each direction, using timestamps, sequence numbers and acknowledgements extracted from the captured packets.
