I'm using a fairly bad internet connection at the minute, and have turned on the "Display technical call info" option. This shows a window with lots of numbers including both send and receive packet loss (see below for an example). I have two questions about the packet loss numbers:

  • Why are there two numbers? What do they mean/what is the difference between them?
  • I have seen the second number go over 100% (I have seen 104% and 133%, that sort of range). What does that mean?

Ended up asking on the skype forums

From there:

There is no publicly available documentation of Call Technical Info, so everything is just a guess. The two percentage values refer to total package loss and to an average for the last minute (running average over 1 min interval)). Why the percentage can sometimes be more than 100% is still a mystery (at least for me)

Thanks to ruwim for providing that answer.
