Amen, brother. I have seen this scenario several times; most of these times it was straightforward to identify problem network hops. Look very hard at the net. And -KEEP DIGGING-. Trust TSM; it's really pretty good. The worst of my cases required several PMRs over a series of years, and four simultaneuous sniffs. That ended up with a faulty ASIC in a CISCO; One particular set of bits would make the thing drop the packet. Boy that was a pain to find. - Allen S. Rout
