Telecom(munications) / Modem connectivity app
English term or phrase: flaps
Unlike test equipment that can only see what it’s connected to, this app makes it fast and easy to verify the quality of a subscriber’s cable or DSL connection and even check on other modems in the area without proprietary equipment, and without the need to drive from place to place to connect up.

On a single screen see key modem stats like time online, the number of flaps/retrains, power and SNR levels, errors over the last 24 hours and bandwidth transferred during the same period

desconexiones
Explanation:
En la jerga de todas formas se usa bastante el término "flaps" y "flapeo" (por flapping). Se refiere a cuando el módem se desconecta y reconecta. Si esto sucede con alta frecuencia, es un problema a corregir.

En definitiva, si bien se usa "flapeo", creo que lo correcto para "flaps/retrains" sería "desconexiones/reconexiones".
