I have the following results for you:
this is from a netbsd-arm32 RISCP-PC 202Mhz with a packet-size of 8192
ping gave the following statistics:
1816 packets transmitted, 1815 packets received, 0.1% paket lost
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 50.6/53.1/93.3/6.3 ms

The one packet lost was because of the CTRL-C I typed.

Doing ping from a 66 Mhz 486PC running Redhat linux also resulted in no
packet loss.

? What do you mean with this, running ping from RISC OS? If so then RISC OS
max ping size is 4070 bytes and refuses a packet size of 8192.
