A "Loss Network" generally refers to a type of network in telecommunications and network theory where packet loss occurs, often due to congestion or other adverse conditions. This can be in the context of data networks, where data packets may be dropped, leading to a loss of information. In such networks, performance analysis is crucial because packet loss can significantly affect the quality of service (QoS) and overall network reliability.

A loss network admits a call only when all its required resources have enough free capacity. Rejected calls do not queue. Under fixed routing and independent Poisson processes, its exact occupancy law has a product-form stationary distribution of a loss network.
