Trichomecookin I welcome the help! I don't notice any packet loss on my home router with PingPlotter running on Win11 version 25H2.

PingPlotter starts off by running a traceroute and then switches to pinging all the IP addresses.

Now that you understand how traceroute works, we can talk about how PingPlotter works. When you first start a trace in PingPlotter, it initiates a traceroute so that it can find all of the hops between the computer and the intended target. Once it finds all of those hops, PingPlotter starts pinging each of those hops every 2.5 seconds. Every so often it will run another traceroute to see if the route to the final destination has changed.

Interesting, if that's how ping plotter works, it seems that the traceroutes go through and display in the "cur" column, but the pings will not. Falsely displaying as packet loss. I'm going to consider this a non issue and not worry about it.
