Hi Jeremy.

That graph shows an outage(s). There's nothing periodic about it. But it is
a good example of following the trail to the problem router, yes.
>>> 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 agree with you, however:
1) A router should not drop even low priority traffic, in general. Certainly
not 15%.
2) If you have just local packet loss due to a periodic problem it is a safe
bet to say that under peak loads the router is going to lose routed packets
also.
3) Not on a periodic basis from a slow ping source.
