Hey Jibroni,

Yes, it's possible (as looks like the case here) for your local router to ignore/de-prioritize ICMP packets as well. You can test this by changing the packet type in PingPlotter (Edit > Options > Engine) and see if you get different results. It isn't necessarily based on what you're targeting, it's specific to the router itself. If you're targeting your local devices and don't see any packet loss, it's likely the router is configured to ignore ICMP packets. The final destination router looks like it is also ignoring those packets as well.

Hop 8 is the only outlier here, it's not known if it's affecting the end destination since the router already shows 100% packet loss. I'd test again under a different packet type and I'd also recommend getting data on another target (such as Google DNS 8.8.8.8) so you can compare to two together.

You can read more details on routers that are configured to ignore ICMP packets here (https://www.pingman.com/kb/article/one-poorly-responding-router-5.html). Let me know if you have more questions or if there's anything else you need.

Thank you,
