A network outage for an organization is more than just a pesky annoyance. Not only does a business have to bear the cost of the downturn, but it must endure negative user experiences that damage the organization's reputation. One of the most common causes of network interruptions is network packet loss. Packet loss is caused when the data packets carrying the information over the internet or any packet-switched network fail to reach their destination in an expected timeframe. This latency disrupts communication and serves as a trigger for a potential outage.
