So i'm writing an app that sends 5Kb packets out 15 times a second through UDP. I understand I will lose some packets but I seem to be losing all my packets after the first couple seconds. Even if I slow it down to send the 5Kb packets out once every 10 seconds I will still lose them. What would cause this?
It's not surprising that they are all dropped. A payload bigger than 512 bytes is unlikely to make it out of the network. It depends on the MTU of your router and how much bandwidth is allocated to UDP / internet traffic on the router.
