But are you seeing that packet loss reflected on every hop past that point?
I'm not going to disagree with Bob, he's right, I've just not seen pings
and traceroute limited on internal routers very often, mostly on routers
at the edge of an ISPs network.
What's between Hop #1 and Hop #2? A wire that is unique to Chuck's
connection -- the wire from him to his ISP (and "wire" could be cable).
This is a great example of why I said don't ping something too far away:
if that wire is a little bit flaky, it'll show a lot of packet loss.
No wire has a zero error rate, so an occasional dropped packet is no big
deal, but if it's more than about 1% I'd be concerned.
