Hi Don,

based on your mtr output, there's no loss to the
end destination; one router along the path showing
loss that does not continue to affect the rest of the
path simply means the cpu on that router is a bit
too busy to respond to icmp messages; but there's
0% loss beyond it, which means it's doing its primary
job of forwarding packets just fine.

Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend!

Matt
