First, Barney was correct: using "ping -f" will run into the ICMP response limitation. Try using "ping -i 0.01 _hostname_", instead, and you may find out that you don't have a problem with packet loss at all at this lower speed.
I wish I had a FreeBSD box to check this on, but from an OS X G5 to an Athlon WinXP box (both at 100% CPU from distribfolding client:
babelfish:~ root# ping -f -c 10000 denizen PING denizen.pursued-with.net (192.168.168.1): 56 data bytes . --- denizen.pursued-with.net ping statistics --- 10000 packets transmitted, 10000 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.079/0.112/1.01 ms babelfish:~ root#
That's through a cheap Gb switch. Just a data point.
