Short answer is that 'dropped packets' happens when the network is unstable so not all of the information sent out by you is received at the other end. One reason you have 'unreachable host' is the host computer is switched off. There are other reasons but making the network more reliable is the best solution

The other possibility is a device malfunction between the test computer and the unreachable source such as a router, hub, or switch.

Describe how packet loss can occur at output ports?
Output ports can transmit only a single packet in a unit of time (the packet transmission time), the arriving packets will have to queue for transmission over the outgoing link. There could be more packets arriving from the switching fabric at the output port while the output port is still working on sending the packets that are already on the queue. Eventually, the number of queued packets can grow large enough to exhaust the memory space at the output port, in which case packets are dropped or lost.
