The amount of packet loss that is acceptable depends on the type of traffic, the network environment, and the application requirements. Generally, packet loss of less than 1% is considered acceptable in most environments. However, some applications may require significantly lower levels of packet loss, and some environments may tolerate higher levels of loss.
Typically, anything under 1% packet loss is considered acceptable in most network environments. However, depending on the specific application or environment, packet loss of up to 5% may be acceptable.
