The question and its context
Before committing to a network architecture, we want to understand how it behaves under packet loss and disconnections. What should a small team measure first?
An illustrative perspective
Separate connection loss, latency and packet loss in your experiments. Record recovery behavior as well as the initial failure so another engineer can reproduce your findings.
Keep the exchange useful
Describe what you have observed, explain your reasoning and make room for another approach. Keep credentials and confidential information out of the conversation.
