Well, If I were you, I would draw my network schema and then I try to think
why there are some packet loss on my network, maybe because of long cables,
internet speed, packet jumps ( router devices ), big network traffic,
firewall state tables, other things you know.

Also it effects how many devices do you use in your network. For example
when a package try to goes to internet, how many routers is this packet
going through? For example 2 devices, 4 or 10? :)

Well my friend many things can effects for packet loss.


Your questions which is about pfSense ICMP limitations. I think, the
problem is not about pfSense or ICMP limitations.

I will make a check list that you can might be solved the problem after you
looked this things.

- State tables => Diagnostics > States  ( Is it full? )
- RAM usage (dashboard)
- CPU usage (dashboard)
- TOP command for processes of services. => Diagnostics > System Activity
- Traffic usage => Diagnostics > Traffic Graph

Send here a picture of your gateways status please. Status > Gateways

I hope, you can solve the problem. Well, These are my thoughts, I wish I
could help you.
