Hi Community,
I have a question, I have been experienced packets lost in LAN, my question is when I ping the dest with 100 repetitions for example I dont get any packet lost but if I ping the destination with 500 repetitions always I get some packets lost (1 or 2).
Note: I can ping the host with 100 rep several times but I never got any packet lost.
Core# ping 10.32.103.194 count 100
........
--- 10.32.103.194 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 100 packets received, 0.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.505/1.266/10.758 ms
Core# ping 10.32.103.194 count 500
..........
--- 10.32.103.194 ping statistics ---
500 packets transmitted, 499 packets received, 0.20% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.551/1.283/14.304 ms
This make sense for you?
Have you ever had this kind of issue?

Hi Omar,
Because ping packets are of low priority and CPU can drop it for any reason that it can't serve a ping request.
Apart from ping packet loss what issue you have? If you have packet loss while your hosts are trying to talk to each other then it is a concern that needs to be looked at. Depending on the platform there are rate-limiters that can drop such packets. So I would see this as normal unless you have any other issues due to this.
Thanks,

One difference, if I remember correctly, Cisco devices use ICMP pings while (Windows) PCs use UDP pings.
