We always lean towards optics first because it's easy to test. We've seen
packet loss with no errors with a crappy SFP from FS.

So for the packet loss with no obvious cause, do I blame the cheap
optics or the cheap switch? Sounds like we're thinking switch.
The most recent issue (which prompted these questions) was 1/10th second
of packet loss every 2 seconds. It was between two CRS 2xx switches
with $10 Fiberstore S
The switch/router should report the error. The SFP is just a blinky
light for the most part, until you get into 100g coherent optics. Some
things that may not report errors would be interface drops, but would be
reported as a link down. I would really like it if mikrotik would
implement a hold
