And how exactly would you interpret the number returned by net_loss (int), in a column called "LOSS", in reference to reachability of a "hop" between two end points:
The hop not sending out the ICMP message for those packets, either because its CPU is overloaded or because of a configuration option to rate-limit them.

Thank you. The former seems close to what may have happened, with a possible impact beyond ICMP, as once having moved my client over to their Broadwing connection, their processing from Yahoo's site seems to have come back to where it was a few days ago. Thanks again, Stef Network Fortius, LLC
