Reporting > Health > Quality - how do I interpret "Loss" metric?

[carrot]

Hi Everyone

I'm on 19.1.6 and all seems good.

looking into quality monitoring due to an issue I have.  I'm having a hard time figuring out what the "Loss" metric means when I am looking at my graph under Reporting > Health > Quality. 

"Delay" makes sense.  I interpret that as delay in ms of traffic.

"Loss" is represented as m as well, e.g. 110m.  what does that actually mean?

thanks

Loss and standard deviation of loss is in percent which is a little hard to grasp at first. 100% equals 1, so 110m is 110 per mille, or 11% average loss.


Cheers,

sorry Franco .... I still dont understand, what do these numbers mean here from my csv?:
for instance, 0.424 on the graphs shows me 0.424m, but the 4.51 does not have m it just says 4.51, so is that plain 4.51% and the other is 42.4%?
