It’s a common benchmarking practice to take multiple measurements of throughput or latency, each using a different packet size. There’s no one right answer as to which packet size represents the ‘best ...

Messages and data travel around networks in a packet. A packet is a structure that carries a segment of data. The recommended packet size is different depending on network types. Wireless network have ...

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for a protocol sets the top limit on how big its packets can be. However, the network devices they pass through, encapsulation, and other factors can complicate ...

Packet-switching networks -- networks which break data up into chunks called packets before transport -- help make your business communications stable and efficient. Once used only for data ...

Everything you stream and share is broken into network packets. Learn how this enables the seamless flow of data that powers the internet. Network packets are small units of data that are sent from ...

Interface packet loss provides indications of link problems that shouldn’t go ignored. But then you have to decide on an alerting threshold that indicates a problem without creating too many false ...

Packet queues are a core component of any network stack or device. They allow for asynchronous modules to communicate, increase performance and have the side effect of impacting latency. This article ...
