The Packet Delay Report presents a summary for setup commands of the number of packets
that were created, delivered, resent, or dropped. An average and maximum packet delay is
also displayed.
Packet Delay 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 at the origin to send to the listed
destination. Not all packets need to be delivered before they appear on
the report.
The number of packets that have been 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.
If no retransmission is specified, then the packet will be dropped.
Packet Delay (MS)—Average, Maximum
The average and maximum observed packet delay.
