Whats the packet loss rate on modern networks ? Curious.
- reliablereason 1y agoThat depends on how much data you are pushing. if you are pushing 200 mb on a 100mb line you will get 50% packet loss.
- spwa4 1y agoWell, yes, that's the idea behind TCP itself, but a "normal" rate of packet loss is something along the lines of 5/100k packets dropped on any given long-haul link. Let's say a random packet passes about 8 such links, so a "normal" rate of packet loss is 0.025% or so.
- positr0n 1y agoOnce it makes it to the long haul links. Measure starting at your cell phone and packet loss is much higher than 0.025% and that's where QUIC shines.
- wmf 1y agoIt can be high on cellular.
- adgjlsfhk1 1y ago~80% when you step out of wifi range on your cell phone.
- deathanatos 1y ago… from 0% (a wired home LAN with nothing screwy going on) to 100% (e.g., cell reception at the San Antonio Caltrain station), depending on conditions…? As it always has been, and always will be.
