This smells like a munin or smokeping plugin (or some other sort of 
monitoring) gathering data for graphing.

I have wanted something like this to graph bandwidth, latency, packet 
loss over time. If we could come up with a lighter weight way of doing 
this (or using a speedtest.net type service) that would be nice to have.

I recently went from having a comcast cable modem where the bottleneck 
was in the modem, to a centurylink gig fiber where my bandwidth depends 
on what the neighbors are doing, which makes tuning SQM difficult... 
Thus my desire to start monitoring things.
