Just ignore. tcpdump couldn't identify the vendor.

Your tcpdump trace didn't give me anything useful.
One suggestion is to use -n flag so that tcpdump
doesn't do DNS resolution! Better, just use "-w file"
so that you capture a trace and then can filter it
different ways along with "-r file".

Create separate files for when connected to the public
vs private net.

Looks like you are a sonic.net customer? If so see if you can
get shell access on sonic. Then you can ping your hosts "from
the outside"!

Earlier I saw some packet loss. Right now I don't see any.

When see packet loss, do you see any IO errors when you do
"netstat -ni ue0"? Also check if your resolv.conf is set right
as well as your gateway.
