My guess would be gnuplot, use "-" as a file to read from stdin. But I
don't know if it will actually do it real-time.

http://users.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~ttsiod/gnuplotStreaming.html

is a way it seems. Basically, go UNIX on it and feed the output of a
ping-tool as the input of something which can real-time plot data as
they arrive.
