I have reported this so many time to Orcon I have lost count. Maybe they will realize it here

juniper devices have a tendancy to drop icmp packets (low priority) directed at it's IP addresses so it's not a true reflection of the packet loss on that hop. As I can see further hops dont have loss there doesnt seem to be an issue. Our junos dont drop but rather the ping can jump to high numbers...

I know orcon use juniper so I would expect this behavior, not sure about ANC though but they may be all juniper too.

Yep ICMP traffic is the first to be dropped, what's the actual problem you are seeing that you are trying to solve ie: poor ping/latency in game x ?

Try using NMAP (which works on Windows thesedays, yay) or Zenmap their GUI.

You can do a tcp tracert, example:
