Network monitoring engineers: explains for the umpteenth time that a node reporting down isn't just a single dropped packet

Geez...we all have learning experiences but I feel node down and packet dropped should be a clear distinction in the mind of anyone in IT...but people will surprise you

Full stack dev/ops: "We can't keep having these emergency calls just because Solarwinds dropped a packet."

Me: "I'm running a continuous ping and it's all timing out."

FSD: "Well the server is up."

Me: "I understand that. Trace looks like it's dropping at the MPLS router."

FSD: "So it's a monitoring issue."

Me: "No you clod, it's networking."

Network VP: "A few dropped packets are normal, what's the problem here?"
