![]() For various reasons that we’re about to explore, it does happen that some packets are lost in transit. ![]() Every piece of data, regardless of its size, is divided into packets which are sent sequentially over networks before being reassembled into meaningful data by the receiving party. ![]() Data packets, in case you don’t know, are small chunks of data that are transmitted on computer networks. I n simple terms, packet loss is the failure of data packets sent from a source to reach their destination. And talking about fixing packet loss, that will be our last order of business. After all, before we can fix anything, we need to know that it’s there and we need to know where it is. Following that, we’ll have a look at some tools one can use to measure and locate packet loss. The actual causes are countless but we’ve chosen the five most common and we’ll have a deeper look at each one. Then, we’ll explore the various causes of packet loss. We’ll start off by trying to define packet loss as it is important that we all start on the same page. We’ll try to look at the why, and the how of packet loss but also what tools can be used to measure it and locate its source as well as briefly explore what can be done to reduce, if not eliminate, it. ![]() In fact, there are mainly three main problems that are causing the vast majority of all network issues: latency, jitter, and packet loss. But as important and critical as they may be, networks can also suffer from a few issues. They allow data to be accessed by whoever needs it wherever they may be. Networks are the backbone of most modern organizations. ![]()
