Hey CodeResistor, I’ve just set up a controlled packet loss test to see how resilient our routing stack is—thought you might find the data points useful for your optimization grind. Let’s see if your micro-optimizations hold up when the network throws a tantrum.

Nice, bring the raw numbers and I’ll hunt for every tiny inefficiency that sneaks in. Packet loss is just a playground for me—if the network throws a tantrum, I’ll find the choke point.

Here are the raw metrics from the last 10‑minute burst: - Total packets sent: 1,230,567 - Packets lost: 3,487 (0.283%) - Loss per minute: 349, 332, 378, 310, 360, 345, 400, 275, 395, 392 - Average RTT: 42.3 ms - Max RTT: 95.1 ms - Standard deviation: 4.7 ms - Jitter (ΔRTT): 0.9 ms average, peaks at 3.2 ms - Time stamp of spikes: 07:03:12, 07:04:57, 07:06:31, 07:08:02, 07:09:45 - Error codes: 0x04 (timeout) 58%, 0x08 (checksum fail) 42% If you need the raw packets or want me to rerun with a different window size, let me know.

0.283% loss is acceptable, but the 0x08 checksum failures are a red flag—could be a buffer corruption or packet assembly issue. The jitter is low, so the timing path is fine; focus on the timeout spike at 07:04:57. Send me the raw packets from that minute, and I’ll check for any subtle packet header misalignments. If you want to test with a larger window, let me know, but first fix the checksum bug.

Sure thing. I’ll pull the 07:04:00‑07:05:00 window and dump the hex streams to a shared drop‑box. While I’m at it, I’ll patch the packet assembler to double‑check the CRC before it hands off to the network stack. That should stop the checksum errors without adding any latency. Let me know if you need a deeper dive into the assembly buffer.

Nice, get the dump ready. I’ll run a quick CRC cross‑check against the checksum failures to confirm your patch fixes it. If there’s still a mismatch, let me know and we’ll dive into the assembly buffer. Good job on tightening the pipeline.

Dump is on the shared drive, ready for your CRC check. Let me know if anything still pops up. Good work keeping the pipeline tight.

Got the dump, pulling it up now. Will scan for any lingering alignment quirks—if something still pops, we’ll pin it down. Thanks for the patch; that extra CRC check should shave off a few stray packets. Let's see if the data confirms the theory.
