If you wanted to actively demonstrate packet loss, you could set up an
extended ping with 500 or 1000 packets. Try playing around with the
payload size and data pattern. If you are truly losing packets, some of
those pings will fail and you can simply take a printout of that screen
to your manager.
You could then call your provider and let them know that frames are
being dropped inside their cloud. They'll probably ask you to verify
power or something stupid like that.
And you are correct, if packets are being dropped in the cloud,
sometimes you will not get much of an indication from the router
statistics.
Good luck,

Hi all,
We have reason to believe we are experiencing Dropped
packets
between us and our remote branch. What I need
Is proof, so I can go to my manager and say, "here, look at this". He
believes just because he looks at the router and does a "show frame
pvc" and
the Dropped Pkts statistic is 0, that there are no packets being
dropped.
Logical Assumption, but I've been told that just isn't the case. Let
me
throw this out to the group....Forget about the FECN's, BECN's and the
DE
pkts...If you were to telnet to both routers and look at the statistics
of
the point-to-point DLCI and compare the Output pkts on one end to the
Input
pkts on the other end, and if you see a discrepancy of
500,000....correct me
if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't that symbolize Dropped packets???
Thanks!
