A method for isolating packet loss on a hierarchical packet network, the method including: connecting a first network element (NE) to a second NE via a varying path traversing multiple network segments; discovering, with the first NE, a set of segment-demarcation expect-to-echo nodes along the varying path; ascertaining, with the first NE, a request-to-echo configuration for each node in the set; emitting a sample size of requests-to-echo in a respective request-to-echo configuration for each node in the set at a sample rate; receiving results of the sample size of requests-to-echo to generate a packet-loss sample; and calculating a rate-of-loss for the packet-loss sample.

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method of positioning and securing a graft to bone including the steps of: positioning the graft into a bore hole in the bone; positioning a guide wire into the bore hole in the bone; positioning a slide instrument between the guide wire and the graft; positioning a driver, and an anchor secured thereto, over the guide wire; directing the anchor along the guide wire and towards and into the bore hole; and imparting a rotational force to the anchor to secure the anchor between a sidewall of the bore hole and a portion of the graft.
