Frame Loss Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the frame loss ratio for a given number of transmitted and received frames.

FLR = (T - R) / T

Variables:

  • FLR is the frame loss ratio
  • T is the total transmitted frames
  • R is the total received frames

To calculate the frame loss ratio, subtract the total received frames from the total transmitted frames. Then, divide the result by the total transmitted frames.

What is Frame Loss Ratio?

Frame loss ratio (FLR) is a measure used in telecommunications to quantify the number of data frames that are lost during transmission. It is an important metric for assessing the quality and reliability of a communication link. A high frame loss ratio indicates poor performance and potential issues with the transmission medium, while a low frame loss ratio indicates a reliable and efficient communication link. Frame loss can occur due to various reasons such as network congestion, signal interference, or hardware failures.

How to Calculate Frame Loss Ratio?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Frame Loss Ratio.


  1. First, determine the total number of transmitted frames (T).
  2. Next, determine the total number of received frames (R).
  3. Next, calculate the frame loss ratio using the formula FLR = (T - R) / T.
  4. Finally, calculate the Frame Loss Ratio.
  5. After inserting the values and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
