[LibreQoS] Integration system, aka fun with graph theory

[Dave Taht]

One of bufferbloat.net's main folk was (and remains) rich brown, who helped
create "intermapper" so many years ago. I think he sold it off when he
retired... I don't know if anyone uses it anymore... hey rich!!! check this
out!!!
