Hi,
 
No, since you (almost) consistently have -300% all the time, it is most likely that every packet has been seen exactly 4 times by the analysis engine, but no packets have been lost.
(It is an artefact of the RFC3550 lost packets algorithm that duplicate packets are counted as negative losses)
However, as Jaap noted, in order to get more readable data, you should fix your capture setup issue which makes you see every packet multiple times.
 
Regards,
Lars

Dear All


 

Can u have a look at the attached screen shot of wireshark. In LOST COLUMN it is showing 300% , -299.7% pack lost. 

 

Do u have any idea that are these packet loss is normal/abnormal.

 

IP phones ( 172.20.24.x) are located in one branch and Recording machine (172.20.19.17) is located in other branch.

 

SPANing is happing over the WAN via L2TPV3.

 

IP Phones : 172.20.24.X (IP Phone)

 

172.20.19.17 (Recording machine)
