dev.test-packet-loss Calculator
Calculates the effect of packet loss on TCP throughput using the Mathis formula (throughput ∝ 1/√loss) in a software testing and quality assurance context. 1% packet loss reduces TCP throughput to approximately 10% of the lossless rate — packet loss is far more damaging than equivalent additional latency.
Inputs
Total
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Lost
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Rtt
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
loss rate
The decrease or degradation from the baseline.
retransmit overhead
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
quality score
A qualitative assessment of how the result compares to the desired standard or benchmark.
effective throughput
Amount of work completed per unit time — requests per second, MB/s, or transactions per second.
