Please explain the ASA capture to identify re-transmissions

cn flag

I have recently started troubleshooting an issue and client is suspecting re-transmissions based on the below capture, I am not sure why the data packets are repeating over and over for multiple times with same sequence numbers.

It would be a great help if someone can explain the sequence pattern, so far I have noticed SYN, SYN+ACK and ACK has completed the Push is initiated and then the data is passing but in the data I have collected from ASA capture, the data is repeated between source and destination with out any increment in the sequence and this is what client is suspecting as re-transmissions.

So please explain if any one knows about that and if it's normal and why the packets are repeating with out incrementing the sequence.

How to explain the above logs???

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
