I can't comment on the issue, but I can comment on the tool choice.  (i.e.
I'm not sure that Microsoft Networking Tools can be trusted)

For example Microsoft's ping tool doesnt report 'duplicate' packets.  If
multiple packets are sent it just ignores them and doesnt report that they
are being sent.

Have you tried using more robust network monitors?
