Package: bing (1.1.3-1)

Empirical stochastic bandwidth tester

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' round trip times for different packet sizes at each end of the link.
