connection loss

Link goes dead

Connection loss is the interruption or failure of a link between devices, networks, or systems.

In computing and telecommunications, it typically means a device can no longer communicate with a server or network: The game kicked me out due to connection loss.

The term extends to any broken channel of communication, digital or otherwise.
