..you mean longer hop responses has higher priority???

..I have mtr average 8% loss over 24/7/365, going anywhere between
0-100% packet loss, 802.11g link out, Telenor gives away wifi routers
to have their clients (my neighbors) jam me.   ;o)

..mail works up to 93% packet loss, at 40% websurfing starts getting
annoyingly slow and stuttering, but how much loss 'n stuttering is
acceptable for a public mirror?
