The Packet Delay Report presents a summary of the number of packets that were created,
delivered, resent, or dropped for each transport and answer command. An average and
maximum packet delay is also displayed.
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 Dropped
Packet Delay—Average, Maximum
The number of packets that have been created at the origin to
send to the listed destination. Not all packets need to be
delivered to appear on the report.
The number of packets that have been received. 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 retransmitted packets. 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 dropped packets. When a node or link fails, you
can specify whether the transmission should be reattempted. If
no retransmission is specified then the packet will be dropped.
The average and maximum of the observed packet delays.
