A network technician is troubleshooting an application that is experiencing glitches and dropouts. What is the most direct symptom of network packet loss?
Intermittent data transmission errors
Implementation of new encryption protocols
Increased network latency
Enhanced bandwidth utilization
Packet loss fundamentally means that data packets fail to reach their destination, resulting in incomplete data transmission. This is directly observed as intermittent errors, such as glitches in video or audio streams. While packet loss can cause increased latency, the latency is a secondary effect resulting from the time it takes for a protocol like TCP to retransmit the lost packets. Enhanced bandwidth utilization is incorrect; in fact, retransmissions caused by packet loss consume more bandwidth, leading to inefficient use. Encryption protocols are related to data security, not the physical delivery of packets.
