      Destination host has loadbalancer in front of set of hosts. Pinging loadbalancer causes host to respond and thus multiple respond are received and duplicate answer is misinterpreted as packet loss even-though there's none.

      Global script ping is configured as: /bin/ping -c 3 {HOST.CONN} 2>&1

      Below is example response from live host(IP removed/masked):

      PING xxx.xx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xx.xxx.xxx) 56(84) bytes of data.
      64 bytes from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx: icmp_req=1 ttl=117 time=4.26 ms
      64 bytes from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx: icmp_req=1 ttl=117 time=4.28 ms (DUP!)
      64 bytes from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx: icmp_req=2 ttl=117 time=4.36 ms
      64 bytes from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx: icmp_req=2 ttl=117 time=4.38 ms (DUP!)
      64 bytes from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx: icmp_req=3 ttl=117 time=4.32 ms
