Don't take this the wrong way, but you are showing a bit of
ignorance about how TCP/IP works.

The apparent packet loss you are seeing may be just fine tuning
of the routers in question.

The routers may be set up not to send ICMP host/network
unreachables back to the originating system if they are
required to send more than one in a configured time period.

Routers have better things to do than continually tell you
that a host is unreachable.
