## TSval and TSecr - What are they, and what are they used for? We’re on a mission to tackle TCP, take it apart, and learn more about how it makes the internet work.

You’ve probably seen the TCP Timestamp fields before, even without looking for them. In captures taken on a modern OS, the “Info” column will usually include information from the fields TSval and TSecr.
