How well does latency correlate to packet loss on the Internet? For example, if one were to pick one of several randomly placed sites on the net based on lowest latency to/from point x, what percentage of this time would this also yield the site with the lowest packet loss to/from point x? My guess is that the correlation is high (due to typical buffer sizes).
