How do I know where my packet loss is coming from?
By consistently sending ping packets (of various sizes), you may be able to determine that there is loss on the network. Once this has been identified, you can then use traceroute to try to determine which hop in the path from sender to receiver is causing the packet loss.
Which of the following is used to detect the packet loss?
One easy way to detect packet loss is to have TCP detect it, since TCP is designed to negate packet loss. If a user, however, wants to detect packet loss, then they can use a diagnostic tool such as a ping (Packet Internet or Inter-Network Groper) test.
