[Bloat] DSLReports Speed Test has latency measurement built-in

[Jim Gettys]

What I don't know is how rapidly VOIP applications will adjust their
latency + jitter window (the operating point that they choose for their
operation).  They can't adjust it instantly, as if they do, the transitions
from one operating point to another will cause problems, and you certainly
won't be doing that adjustment quickly.

So the time period over which one computes jitter statistics should
probably be related to that behavior.

Ideally, we need to get someone involved in WebRTC to help with this, to
present statistics that may be useful to end users to predict the behavior
of their service.

I'll see if I can get someone working on that to join the discussion.
