    I get what you’re both saying, but it’s technically wrong. TCP exposes segments and those are guaranteed to be transmitted. That may however require the retransmission of several IP packets.
    So losing a packet is fine, while losing a segment is worth worrying about.

    Anyway I can’t speak for OP if they genuinely misunderstood because of terminology or just got wooshed. But they’re technically right, even if by accident.
