- Found it on the internet and compiled it. It seems like a real nice
- little proggy.

- From the original readme:

- --snip------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Bing is a point-to-point bandwidth measurement tool (hence the
- 'b'), based on ping.
-
- Bing determines the real (raw, as opposed to available or average)
- throughput on a link by measuring ICMP echo requests roundtrip times
- for different packet sizes for each end of the link.
-
- Suppose we are on host A and want to know the throughput between
- L1 and L2, two extremities of a point-to-point link.
-
- A ----( the Internet )--- L1 --- L2
-
- If we know the rtt (roundtrip time) between A and L1, and the rtt
- between A and L2, we can deduce the rtt between L1 and L2.
-
- If we do that for two different packet sizes, we can compute the
- raw capacity (bps) of the link.
-
- Note that bing can also be used to have an idea of ethernet cards
- performance.
