Are the minimum it would indicate a router which was probably close to topping
out. This is when you ping in from the outside. You don't see any packet
loss past the router.
But when you ping out from the inside, many are seeing packet loss past that
router, at the same time as that router looses them. The obvious conclusion
is that this router is dropping not only local packets but also pass through
packets. This is totally unacceptable.
