From the receiver’s standpoint a "lost" packet is any packet that is not delivered to the application.

For a multi-packeted message, if one packet is missed and retransmission cannot be satisfied the result will be an undeliverable message to the receiver. The loss of one packet is equivalent to the loss of all packets in the message.


E.g., If one messages is composed of 100 packets, even though only packet 3 was missed and cannot be retransmitted the whole 100 packets for that message will be lost. This case will result in "missed"=+1 and "lost MC"=+100.
