When a host does not receive a packet, it typically triggers a timeout mechanism, prompting the host to retransmit the packet after a specified period. In protocols like TCP, this may lead to an increase in the retransmission timeout (RTO) to avoid overwhelming the network. Additionally, if packet loss is detected, the host may implement congestion control measures to manage data flow. Ultimately, the failure to receive a packet can impact overall communication efficiency and reliability.
