As noted in my prior message - you DO have loss. fping isn't going to show a
case where a router in the middle of the connection is dropping IMCP requests
to the router itself, but passing all other traffic. If fping shows loss, there
IS loss between the fping source and the end target.
If fping is showing loss, you have loss across the connection, period. [Unless
there's a problem with fping somehow.]
So, I don't think option #2 applies in the situation you outline.
I still think doing something like an MTR could be helpful - but that's a side
issue. I think you're making erroneous conclusions about the
results/interpretation of the fping/smokeping results.
