This is a simple bash script to check whether NIC is dropping packets or not. It works with only one NIC card at one time because there’s possiblity that packet can go through another NIC.

#!/bin/bash

NET_ON_LIST=`ifconfig | grep "Link encap:Ethernet"`

NET_ON_COUNT=`echo "$NET_ON_LIST" | wc -l`
if (($NET_ON_COUNT != 1)); then
        echo "Need to set only one active ethernet connection."
        echo "This system currently has" $NET_ON_COUNT "connections in ON status"
        exit 1
fi

rm -rf result.txt
echo "Checking started at " `date` | tee -a result.txt
echo "" | tee -a result.txt

trap 'echo "Checking ended at " `date` | tee -a result.txt' EXIT

NET_DEV=`echo $NET_ON_LIST | awk '{print $1}'`
RX_OK_PREV_COUNT=`ifconfig $NET_DEV | grep "RX packets" | awk '{ print $2}' | awk -F: '{print $2}'`
while [ 1 ]
do
        sleep 1.1
        RX_OK_COUNT=`ifconfig $NET_DEV | grep "RX packets" | awk '{ print $2}' | awk -F: '{print $2}'`
        if (($RX_OK_PREV_COUNT == $RX_OK_COUNT)); then
                echo "Value not changed for a second with value " $RX_OK_PREV_COUNT | tee -a result.txt
                echo "    at time " `date` | tee -a result.txt
                ifconfig $NET_DEV | tee -a result.txt
        fi
        RX_OK_PREV_COUNT=$RX_OK_COUNT
done

And a script for ping command.

#!/bin/bash

PING_SITE=$1
[ -z $PING_SITE ] && PING_SITE="google.com"

rm -rf send_data.txt
ping $PING_SITE | awk '/^[0-9]+ bytes from / { "date" | getline d; close("date -R") ; print d, ": ", $0; }'
