I bet the network admin is just trying to find an excuse to get a new Ethernet switch. 'Packet loss? Time for an upgrade!'

MTU is a good one. It's easy to overlook, but a mismatch can definitely cause packet drops and slow performance.

Routing tables? Really? That's more for network-level issues, not performance problems. I'd focus on the lower-level stuff first.

We should also check for possible duplex mismatches, that could be causing the problem.

Duplex mismatches can definitely cause performance issues. I'd check the duplex settings on both sides of the link.

The packet loss on the nodes is definitely the first thing I'd check. That's a clear indicator of an issue on the physical layer.

I think looking at the MTU of each side of the link could also provide valuable insights.
