If I have random lag times from a=0.1 to b=0.3 and a time to live (TTL) of x=0.25, what would be the packet loss in per cent?



Ok so basically I have packets that arrive in Random [a,b] time, if that random value is greater than x the packet gets lost and doesn't arrive.



What is the probability of a packet to arrive?

You are taking a uniform random number in the range $[0.1,0.3]$ and asking the chance that it is less than $0.25$. You win in $0.25-0.1=0.15$ of the range of $0.3-0.1=0.2$, so the chance is $frac 0.150.2=0.75$

    Assume that the time delay has a uniform distribution, then the probability of packet loss is given by the probability of the time delay being larger than 0.25.



    This can be easily computed as $$(0.25-0.1)* frac10.3-0.1 = 0.15*5 = 0.75$$



    i.e, probability of packet arrival is $75%$, and the probability of packet loss is $25%$
