Try and guess what might have been in the missing packet

Detailed explanation-1: -If a packet is lost, TCP can retransmit it. The second transmission picks up lost packets and reconstructs the data stream. However, this does not mean there is no slowdown involved. The network may feel slower, as it still takes time to retransmit data.
Detailed explanation-2: -Packet loss occurs when network congestion, hardware issues, software bugs, and a number of other factors cause dropped packets during data transmission. Packet loss sits in the trio of two other major network performance complications: latency, and jitter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Packet loss directly reduces throughput for a given sender as some sent data is never received and can’t be counted as throughput. Packet loss indirectly reduces throughput as some transport layer protocols interpret loss as an indication of congestion and adjust their transmission rate to avoid congestive collapse.
