Description

https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/issues/100#issuecomment-199654773

In this reply to a issue, it is mentioned that packet loss can be simulated by adding latency toxic with specific config. I need to know for what values of latency/jitter the packet loss will be simulated?

Thank You!
