Jitter-Induced Packet Loss Rate Predictor for Network Interfaces calculator computes Packet Loss Rate in 1 using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.
Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Jitter RMS = 0
- Buffer Depth = 1
Expected Result:
- Packet Loss Rate = 0
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Packet Loss Rate = 0.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
packet loss rate = pow(jitter rms / buffer depth, 2.0) * (1.0 - exp(-jitter rms / buffer depth))Packet Loss Rate.
