In general router benchmarking usage , ( and maybe in RFC 1242 or in RFC 1944 - I 'd have to look again ) the metric " packet loss percentage " is used commonly as a real measurement of the numbers of lost and forwarded packets , not as a probability . " On November 8 , 1861 , in the Bahama Channel close to Cuba , a U.S. navy warship stopped a British packet and seized two Confederate emissaries on their way to England . Closely related to switching is the issue of packet processing . Thus , the packet transmission order should be controlled to reduce the queue length . A data packet received by an ST agent contains the non-zero HID assigned to the stream for the branch from the previous-hop to itself .
