VPN (PIX) packet loss

[mconroy]

We have recently witnessed packet loss over one of our IPSec tunnels. Peer to peer (router to router) tests return no p-loss, but ICMP traffic over the tunnel experiences 15-20% packet loss. This is an intermittent issue and affects all services, not just ICMP. Any thoughts outside a potential ISP issue?

We have a PIX 525 connecting to a Check point FW. There is a NAT process (/24 static) run on the 525 for the source traffic.

Thanks in advance
