The term "line hit" is not an industry standard, but I have heard it used. A "line hit" is generally a power outage or some interruption at the Central Office. As far as the retransmission, I'd say you are looking @ the application. If the line takes a hit or bounces, one side of the conversation is going to drop. So- I'd say you looking at one or more interface resets. If you're referring to noise build-up, it depends. Since we are probably not talking about X.25 and more like Frame-Relay, TCP will shut the windowing process to a crawl. If TCP cannot handle things, the application timesout. This is my be theoretical .02, based on my 10 months working for a CLEC. Dirty or intermittant noisey lines (i.e. water in the box or lines close to power) were very hard to trouble shoot.
