Can someone explain it to me XD?

[KingHual]

It's when a packet doesn't reach its destination for some reason (only possible in unreliable protocols)

[Kruno88]

Ok but what does it mean in SA-MP.Does it?

[Alex Magaсa]

Packetloss has nothing to do with SA-MP. Its an internet problem that cause "lost connection" in games. Try to contact your ISP. Its loosing packets during sending from ISP.

****** actually has a good definition. It's not just a SA-MP word.

Umm no. Packet loss is possible using ANY protocol due to the way the internet works.

Umm no. If a reliable protocol, e.g. TCP, sends a packet and it doesn't reach its destination then it resends it until it does reach it. Thus, the packetloss isn't actually felt. It's there at the IP stack level, but it's nothing to worry about.

tl;dr Confirming EVERY protocol can experience packet loss.

So you're saying the impact of packetloss on reliable protocols is the same as the impact on unreliable protocols?
