Good guess, didn't occur to me to check, thanks. Unfortunately, I
don't think it's the case. I don't see any dropped packets:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
           RX packets:295 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:295 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:215211 (210.1 KiB)  TX bytes:215211 (210.1 KiB)
