That depends... Packet loss at one router with no packet loss after
it to the destination means one of three possible things:
1. ICMP prioritization... (that's been discussed already)
2. High CPU load on the route processor... This usually isn't a
problem until you have packet loss to the destination host.
3. ICMP dropping... (done due to the recent worm problems)
I'll agree its a flag that something is up, but its not always a problem.
