random timeouts on mikrotik ping tool

Good day

I'm busy doing some ping test to my wan from mikrotik and linux.

The mikrotik ping tool will show random ping timeout but the router does not mark it as packet lost?
It does not show up on the linux machine only on the mikrotik ping tool.
Any ideas?
