This is my company network schema:

sap 
server---milano-network==mimosa-+-internet-+-pleiadi==venezia-network--sap 
client

I'm able to connect to a sap server connected to the milano network
from a sapgui client connected to the venezia network. No problem.
If packet loss is a problem it should be also a problem with this tunnel.
Am I wrong?
