    Remember that a number of ISP's 'core' routers are going to have ICMP
    rate limits in place when one of their interfaces is the target. While
    you may see high packet loss across an ISP link, unless you are getting
    similar numbers from all hops past that point you aren't looking at real
    packet loss, since the transit packets are getting through fine. It's
    just the routers themselves that are ignoring requests or discarding
    responses in favor of pushing routed packets.
