Hi everyone - I just spent the last hour TSing my network to figure out what is causing this local-hops packet loss problem, and I think it may be a PingPlotter bug.

The symptom is that when I choose a destination more than one hop away in PingPlotter like steampowered.com or yahoo.com, everything starts out fine for the first 10 pings or so, and then it builds up to 40%-80% packet loss to my router(s), but the rest of the journey is fine.

When I choose the router as the destination, everything is fine. There is no packet loss.

Searching around, I found this thread:
https://forum.netduma.com/topic/19939-ping-plotter-showing-over-50-packet-loss-on-r1/

Which is exactly what I'm experiencing now - they seemed to surmise it was a PingPlotter bug, which makes sense to me because I've eliminated any other possible cause locally.

I have 3 different computers, all having the same behavior.

When I connect directly to EITHER router with a jumper, it has the same behavior.

Can someone from the dev team confirm this is a bug?
