• If you are seeing a lot of packet loss in one direction, this could be caused by a duplex mismatch somewhere in your network.
• If you are new to video conferencing over IP, you may have had a duplex mismatch in your network for some time: TCP traffic will be slowed down by it - and this may pass unnoticed - but UDP traffic will be lost.

If you want to monitor the amount of UDP packet loss you are experiencing I would use the performance logs and alerts utility.  The counter I
believe you would be interested in is under the UDP performance object, counter being "Datagrams Received Errors".  Also, you can query any
of these counters via WMI.

Network testing

Soak testing is running a system at high levels of load for prolonged periods of time. A soak test would normally execute several times more transactions in an entire day (or night) than would be expected in a busy day, to identify any performance problems that appear after a large number of transactions have been executed
