The Packet Delay Report presents a summary of the number of packets that were created,
delivered, resent, or dropped for each global 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 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 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 occurs when input or output buffers are full, or
when 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.
