Using tcpdump with tcptrace is really handy. 
You do something like:
tcpdump -s 100 -w /tmp/tcpdump.out host <hostname>
tcptrace -Sl /tmp/tcpdump.out
xplot /tmp/a2b_tsg.xpl

One very important thing to remember, if you are interested in how the 
tcp window is scaling, is to start tcpdump before you mount the server.  
The tcp window size depends on a scaling factor that it gets when the 
tcp connection is created (which is at mount time).
