packet loss
Network transmission failure
Packet loss occurs when data packets traveling across a network fail to reach their destination.
In digital communication, information moves in discrete chunks; when some go missing, the result ranges from minor glitches to major disruption.
Video calls stutter, online games lag, and downloads corrupt.
We're getting packet loss on this connection.
High packet loss typically indicates network congestion, faulty hardware, or poor signal strength.
