And how does it do that? By traversing the network

As the per the thread subject "Best tool to find packet loose" (I'm guessing "loose" was meant to be "loss" )

In the very initial, their is no need to use wireshark, tcpdump, etc.. you first need to identify where your loss is happening! Ping and traceroute (MTR is a good combination!) if going to provide you an invaluable resource in starting to narrow down where you think the loss is happening.
