[Bloat] passive network delay monitoring utility

[Kathleen Nichols]

Couple of things. First, it's probably not hard to write a pping in
other languages
but c++ is my go to. (I am sort of learning javascript right now.) I
think it's great
if we get other versions.

Secondly, for anyone who seriously wants to localize delay in their
application/device/
what-have-you, I have other ways of doing that and I'm happy to discuss
working with
you but there will be $ involved.

Finally, I've been using my infant javascript skills (see paragraph 1)
to make a sort of
web page display for pping and I do plan to open source it when it's not
too embarassing but I'd be happy to connect with other people with a
serious interest in visualizing the
data in a meaningful way.
