Packet Loss Burst Analyzer

Updated Apr 8, 2026

Enter packet loss statistics to determine whether your loss pattern is bursty (RF events, congestion spikes) or sustained (chronic signal degradation). Calculates loss percentage and a burst ratio — the ratio of max consecutive loss to average event size — to classify the pattern as Bursty or Sustained.

Outputs a severity label (Low / Medium / High / Critical), likely cause category list, a high-severity application impact note when loss exceeds 1%, and recommended next steps matched to the detected pattern. Designed for network engineers triaging cellular WAN incidents where average loss metrics mask the true failure mode.
