Also, I don't trust parallel latency measures done by for instance ICMP 
ping. Yes, they indicate something, but what?

We need insight into the TCP stack. So how can an application like 
dslresports that runs in a browser, get meaningful performance metrics on 
its measurement TCP-sessions from the OS TCP stack? This is a multi-layer 
problem and I don't see any meaningful progress in this area...
