a cosmic background bufferbloat detector

a cosmic background bufferbloat detector

[Dave Täht]

I've continued to think through the "using ntp to monitor and detect
bufferbloat idea" - and it continues to be discussed on
comp.protocols.time.ntp - but thus far the idea seems to have legs.

I found a very inspirational story:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_cosmic_microwave_background_radiation

Unless more flaws show up in the idea[1] a start at "cbbd" will be coming soon to a git repo near you.

1: one flaw already - ntp rawstats output is inadequate. Parsing  
   tshark -f "src or dst port 123" output would allow us to distinguish 
   between natted and non-natted sources.

I've outlined what would need to be done to create this and
slammed it into a github repo:

https://github.com/dtaht/Cosmic-Background-Bufferbloat-Detector

See the TODO.org for more detail. If you can help, pls send me your ssh
public key...

I have skills that cut across nearly everything that's needed, but I
have to admit my perl and binary data parsing skills are very rusty.

I'm going to go fiddle with postgres schema.
