No.  I do not believe we have seen peaks anywhere close to 1Gbps.

Correct - that is the point of the measurement loss analysis.  We
believe we are losing very few packets during the measurement process.
Therefore, we believe the traces to be a faithful representation of what
has happened on-the-wire.
