what would you do if you tried making it less gross?

I've not found any similar functionality, in the kernel.
I want to know an estimate for the percentage of data lost in tcp.

afterall I'm on the receiving end most of the time.
percentage of duplicate packets received is nice too.
you have any suggestions?
