The star will represent a single packet timed out, which is quite possible consdering the numerous factors. You want to run a true test on packet delivery? Do an extended ping - I just ran one for a few minutes:
Ping statistics for 168.143.187.47:
Packets: Sent = 143, Received = 143, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
0% packet loss here, nothing to complain about on 0% packet loss.

But it only happens every 1 out of 3. If it a priority issue should you notice some latency on that hop each time?
