The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| avg_packet_loss |
Indicates the percentage of packets lost during transmission from source to target and back. |
Percent |
Packet loss is often caused by network buffer overflows at a network router or by packet corruptions over the network. The detailed diagnosis for this measure provides a listing of routers that are on the path from the external agent to target server, and the delays on each hop. This information can be used to diagnose the hop(s) that could be causing excessive packet loss/delays. |
| avg_network_avail |
Indicates whether/not the network connection is available. |
Percent |
A value of 100 indicates that the host system is accessible over the network. The value 0 indicates that the URL is inaccessible. |
