I've been told missing blocks often has to do with where a BP is scheduled in the list, and less to do with an individual BPs infrastructure. For quite some time eosdacserver was scheduled right after `eoscleanerbp` which had some very high latency. The scheduler is done alphabetically right now, so `eosdacserver` comes after `eoscleanerbp` which can cause mini forks and missed blocks. See an example of <a href="https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lukestokes/920e0ba5c11e4c6d73b36024d6541bba/raw/2729000ea5a600002807fea21cf9b1608a7e3269/eos_forks_switching_producers.txt">log output here</a>.

You can also see the schedule is alphabetical here:

I asked Dan about this:

And he seemed to think it's normal:

So maybe we should be talking more about latency and less about missed blocks? I did a <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1987dUiUVvxm-QgwG9QzEfuzSCQvikXwacBEDn00ZU5M/edit?usp=sharing">little analysis of latency</a> as well you may find interesting.
