What is better more packets received or sent?

Question

I am using linsys router and I am the only who is connected on it

Answer 1

it's like the information sent and received by your computer

Answer 2

It depends on your usage.  If you are simply surfing the Net you should have a considerable larger amount of received packets than sent.  In this scenario if you have a high amount of packets SENT, you should be concerned about virus, trojan, or the like sending out info against your will.  Typically recieved will always be larger than sent unless you are pushing many files or large files (uploading them).

Answer 3

better !?!?!?

it depends what ur doing !!!!

if downloading then of course ur gonna get alot more packets

if playing a game ( locally )  there wont be much activity

if ur just browsing the web you should see that u recieve

a few more

:)  hey, anytime lol.....**likes to help**

Answer 4

Both will constantly be increasing. More packets received = something like browsing web sites, or downloading a file. More packets sent = uploading files, online video games and so on.

Answer 5

depends on what the problem is

Answer 6

There is no direct ratio relationship between the two.  Packets are the 'bundles' of data sent by computers to other computers.   If you request a webpage, and it takes 25 packets, the reply (the webpage) may be 5,000 packets.  Don't be alarmed by any huge difference between the two.
