iperf might be able to do what you need and there are Windows builds =
available, but I'm not sure if it has a mode where it's not flooding the =
network trying to test maximum speed. Is there a reason that standard =
ICMP pings aren't appropriate if you just want packet loss info? =
Obviously every platform worth using has ping built in.
