Jam rate意思

"Jam rate" is a term used in telecommunications and networking, particularly in the context of wireless networks, to describe the rate at which data packets are dropped or discarded due to network congestion or interference. The term "jam" refers to the interference or congestion that causes the data packets to be dropped, and "rate" refers to the frequency at which this occurs.

A high jam rate can indicate that the network is overloaded or that there is too much interference, which can lead to poor network performance, including slow data transfer speeds, dropped connections, and increased latency. Network administrators use various techniques to manage jam rates, such as adjusting network capacity, optimizing signal strength, and implementing Quality of Service (QoS) policies to prioritize critical traffic.
