Hello
     I am analyzing the network with wireshark :) and found 8-10% of lost packets (filter: malformed | | tcp.analysis.lost_segment | | tcp.analysis.retransmission | | tcp.analysis.fast_retransmission | | tcp.analysis.duplicate_ack ) between various Linux desktop and an HP 2420n (network printer)

     The printer is connected to switch A (100Mbit) and dektop are connected to the switch B (1Gbit), where A and B swich are interconnected.
     The printer was replaced (otherwise error) and the new printer keeps happening the same.
     I can only see wiring issues.

     On if my question is if this% is "normal" (hard word) in a wired network scheme (it seems to me much)
     Is there any way to look at something else, to know that it also occurs to a statistic on the filter showing up?

    
   Thanks for reading. and sorry for using google translate.
