I agree, you would need a method to either monitor or proxy the transfer. Typically finding packet loss has to be done right down in the network stack so something high-level like Node-RED won't have access unless a 3rd-party tool is used. Then the difficulty is matching the actual data transfer in Node-RED terms to the low-level data transfer.

This is most easily done manually if you are able to use Wireshark.
