Do you have any network monitoring station currently?

openview can do this.... rrdtool also has scripts for this...

do you mean packets that the router thinks are lost or packets that the
router sends, thinks is fine and  never hits the endpoint?

For granular detail of packet loss, you'll probably need to deploy rmon at
each endpoint and watch applications as they talk across the network,rather
than looking for random lost packets.  For core switches, you'll either have
to purchase an rmon license or a NAM.  Traffic Director is capable of doing
just this..  Ngenious, TD's successor also does this but runs horribly with
CW2000 and usually requires it's own server.

Of course if these are slow links already, then adding more traffic to tell
you you have packet loss is kinda silly.. :)  Check out rrdtool and mrtg to 
grab utilization and interface stats.  At least you'll have a best guess and
if you suspect packet loss at certain times during the day, you can check it
against the utilization.

I'd also like to get a program like that.  We had to write our own, but I'm
sure an outside company could do a better job.
