context question

"duplication would cause instability in the internet and compromise its ability to deliver datagrams to networks."

what does compromise mean above, also what would you give it out of 10 in regard of its most populer contextual uses.
thanks a lot.

compromise = affect negatively
I'm not sure what you mean by 'out of ten', but this meaning is failry common, though I'd imagine that giving ground in negotiations is probably more common.

The lexical chunk/collocation (expression) there is "to compromise the/an/someone's ability to do something". I suggest you search Google using this "compromise * ability to", and don't forget to use the quotes ("). You can then check some of the results to see the expression in context.
