Is this something I need to contact my ISP about, or is it nothing to worry about? What does the loss really mean, anyway? |

| It could be a couple of things.
It could be bad wiring in your house. It could be a loose connection from your modem to the place it connects to at the wall. If you have a splitter, check to see that it is hooked up correctly and the connections are tight.
Check and see if Rover or Kitty have been chewing on the lines that run from the wall to the modem.
Make sure if this is a coax connection, that the coax is not damage or even bent in more than right angle. Coax cable has a copper piece that runs down the middle and can be damaged by being bent too much.
If the problem is with the wiring outside of your house or away from your house there is very little you can do. Call you ISP and have them test for packet loss and have them fix the wiring problem.
It is a wiring issue of some sorts NOT a hardware issue. |

Nothing there; it is RR blocking ICMP (pings) that are very fast. RR treats them as a possible DoS attack.
RR (and many ISPs do this) sets the routers to drop some ICMP packets and let the "real" data go through.
Look at the last hop; that is you. You have a clean run on the East Coast and an acceptable 2% loss on the West Coast run.
Ignore it.
