Walking the line, so to speak. Starting with our directly connected cogent peer. Loss begins at the same hop and carries through to the end host. I'm only using cogentco as an example, but the results are the same anywhere.

After three days of no email response for my ticket, I called and after an hour of my life I want back, front line support cannot reproduce the loss. Final conclusion: "Your host is dropping packets".
