      Hi Guys,

      Had a weird issue occur at random times (only once or so every few months).

      What will happen is a WAN link will show more than 100% packet loss on the gateway monitor on the dashboard , for example 160% packet loss (which is obviously impossible)

      Yet if you ping over than WAN link you get 0% loss.

      I've tried changing the monitor IP to 8.8.8.8 for example but it still occurs, and the MTU values are correct for the link and I've even tried another NIC.

      Is this a bug or something quite obvious?

      Many Thanks.
