Packet Loss Guides

Start with the core concept, then run a packet loss test carefully enough to separate real packet loss from normal latency, jitter, and bandwidth symptoms.

A practical packet loss workflow

  1. 1. TestRun the same preset more than once.
  2. 2. ReadCompare loss, latency, jitter, and late packets.
  3. 3. CompareChange one variable, such as Wi-Fi or VPN use.
  4. 4. DecideUse the pattern to choose the next test or fix.
