It is complicated as the ping command does not offer many options in RouterOS.

You could do something like

:if ([:ping 1.1.1.1 count=10 interval=90ms]<8) do={:put something}

This will execute the do= block if less than 8 out of 10 pings arrive in less than 90ms.

You could tune:

  • The number of attempts, to filter transient failures
  • The fraction of failures required to trigger (in my example (10-8/10), i.e. 20%
  • The interval between attempts/time to wait for answer, they seem to be controlled by the same parameter
