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:

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.
