  2. Packet loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

    Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a computer network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss is either caused by errors in data transmission, typically across wireless networks, [1] [2] or network congestion. [3]: 36 Packet loss is measured as a percentage of packets lost with respect to packets sent.

  3. Ethernet flow control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_flow_control

    A sending station (computer or network switch) may be transmitting data faster than the other end of the link can accept it.Using flow control, the receiving station can signal the sender requesting suspension of transmissions until the receiver catches up.

  4. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    Packet loss due to network congestion. Packets may be dropped in switches and routers when the packet queues are full due to congestion. Packet loss due to bit errors. Scheduling algorithms in routers and switches. If fair queuing is not provided, users that send large packets will get higher bandwidth.

  5. Error concealment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_concealment

    A signal is a message sent from a transmitter to a receiver in multiple small packets. Packet loss occurs when these packets are misdirected, delayed, resequenced, or corrupted. Packet loss occurs when these packets are misdirected, delayed, resequenced, or corrupted.

  6. Network congestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_congestion

    Network congestion in data networking and queueing theory is the reduced quality of service that occurs when a network node or link is carrying more data than it can handle. . Typical effects include queueing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connectio

    Dial-up doesn't work with phone services offered by cable companies. Check your physical phone connection - A loose cable or cord can often be the cause of a connection problem. Unplug all phone devices in your home - Unplug all phone devices in your home, then reconnect just the modem. Try to connect online, and if it works, plug in each ...

  8. Quality of service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service

    There are two principal approaches to QoS in modern packet-switched IP networks, a parameterized system based on an exchange of application requirements with the network, and a prioritized system where each packet identifies a desired service level to the network. Integrated services ("IntServ") implements the parameterized approach.

  9. Explicit Congestion Notification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_Congestion...

    This allows intermediate routers that support ECN to mark those IP packets with the CE code point instead of dropping them in order to signal impending congestion. Upon receiving an IP packet with the Congestion Experienced code point, the TCP receiver echoes back this congestion indication using the ECE flag in the TCP header. When an endpoint ...
