Does icmp packet loss(1-2%) really affect the service?

Hi,

Does icmp packet loss(1-2%) really affect the service? Because, There's an instance that PL occur even in P2P(WAN) ping test and since there no reported issue about that.. I'm thinking whether this Packet loss affect the actual traffic of the customer?

Pre-Checks:

No interface error/drops

no congestion

CPU/Mem normal

hardcoded as 100/full

latency is normal

​

Output:

Success rate is 99 percent (2998/3000), round-trip min/avg/max = 2/2/16 ms

​

PL happens only on ping p2p to WAN but no PL when pinging on LAN side. Any idea? anyone encountered this?

Thanks

​
