Ping public IP address

This morning we had to install a Cisco router behind our firewall to setup a site to site vpn to another location. We noticed that probably 1 out of every 20 pings to the external public address was dropped. I’m being told that this might not be stable enough for a site to site vpn to work very well. I tried pinging a few other web servers we host and its the same thing it might go 50 pings without a drop or it might go 20 without a drop. The internal IP address pings look good and pinging out to other sites like google.com look good.

We don’t have very great internet speed 50Mbps. I’m not really sure what else to look at. We’ve never had problems accessing any of the websites we host even with the occasional dropped ping.

Any ideas or things I should check?
