We continue our discussion of what can be done to address the impact of packet loss on application performance over the WAN. In our previous 3 columns, we’ve covered five of the six different ...

Right-click on the Start menu (the Windows icon on your taskbar) and select Command Prompt (Admin)/Windows PowerShell (Admin) ...

Key steps include investigating user complaints, examining endpoints, and monitoring device interfaces and traffic flows. I've been involved in network analysis with two customers recently who had ...

When you transmit information, the data is divided into smaller packets, which are then combined at the receiving end. The failure of these packets to reach their destination is known as Packet Loss.

Interface packet loss provides indications of link problems that shouldn’t go ignored. But then you have to decide on an alerting threshold that indicates a problem without creating too many false ...

Last time, I asserted that that WAN-specific application performance issues are driven entirely by three factors: latency, packet loss and bandwidth. This time, we’ll cover three other major factors ...

Running speed tests didn't reveal anything, and latency looked perfectly fine, too. But it was doing ping tests and ...

After several months in beta testing, Network Next has released the latest update to its network-boosting technology for online, interactive applications such as multiplayer games. Central to the ...

During my recent network conundrum, I wound up doing a lot of pinging. I noticed a fair few lost packets when pinging my router (also functioning as AP) from the laptop while on wifi. Windows is ...

Microsoft has posted its root-cause analysis of its latest Multifactor Authentication (MFA) melt-down, which happened last week. "Severe packet loss" between a network route between Microsoft and the ...

Before we begin with the fixes for this issue, we should describe packet loss briefly to those who are unaware. Communication on the internet, or any network for that matter, is established by sending ...

A team of researchers from MIT, Caltech, Harvard, and other universities in Europe, have devised a way of boosting the performance of wireless networks by up to 10 times -- without increasing ...
