What's the definition and units about packet loss , is there any
good tool to diagnose it ?
Well, how about ping's approach? It sends ICMP "echo request" and
the target host /should/ send ICMP "echo reply".
~$ ping 123.123.123.123
PING 123.123.123.123 (123.123.123.123) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 123.123.123.123 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4008ms
~$
Here, packet loss = (packets received - packets transmitted)/packets
transmitted.
