Hi Friends,

Can anyone tell me what are the scenarios of data packet lost????

Thanks in Advance!!!!!

Packets get lost all the time on networks. The most common cause is network congestion, but another common cause is interference over a wireless connection. This is why TCP is such a popular protocol -- it has the capability for the sender to resend packets that were not received by the destination.

You only need to worry about packet loss when you use a protocol like UDP which does not guarantee delivery of packets.

Sorry, due to space constraints I can't list them all here.

Network congestion, static electricity, sun spots, North Korean nuclear tests, thermal noise, cosmic microwave background radiation, cosmic rays, the strong and weak nuclear forces, and alien mind control beams.

This is not the valid answer..If you really know the answer then you can list out some of the scenarios ....By the way for your kind information there is sufficient space available here...
