But I thought you were asserting that the network was run by highly
efficient telco switches and lines, which wouldn't drop traffic.
Surely this 0.4% loss wouldn't be coming from (gulp) congestion in the
network?  Which may have been made the loss rate worse by running the
flows at higher rates, and more importantly, made the loss rate higher
for everyone else using the bottleneck link?
