The easy answer would be to setup your host checks using a check_ping
setting that is very tolerant to latency and packet loss.  Then setup
a service that uses check_ping with your acceptable latency/packet
loss.  You could then use this service in a service dependency for
troublesome services behind the router if you intended to suppress
notifications.

You could potentially use something like <a

check if you were interested in fine-grained latency/packet loss
information.
