The Packet Delay Report presents a summary of the number of packets created, delivered,
resent, or dropped for each message and response source. It also provides the average and
maximum packet delay. Packet Delay is the time between creating a packet on the originating
node and the time of receiving the packet at the destination node.
Packets Created
Packets Delivered
Packets Retransmitted
Packets Dropped
The number of packets created to send to the listed destination. Not all
packets need to be delivered before they appear on the report.
The number of packets received at the destination. This may differ from
the number of packets created by the number of packets that are in transit
at the instant the report is written.
The number of packets retransmitted. Packets may be retransmitted from
the origin because they are blocked at some point in route to the
destination. Blocking can occur because input or output buffers are full,
or because a node or link on the route fails.
The number of packets dropped. When a node or link fails, you can
specify whether the transmission should be reattempted. If so, the
retransmissions will be counted in the Packets Retransmitted field.
Otherwise, the packet is dropped.
Packet Delay (millisecs)—Average, Maximum
The average and maximum packet delay.
