Ping fans, be sure to check out bing! Fun stuff and 97.2% accurate (not really)! :)

> 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.

I'm a fan of nttcp, although it's not based on ping.
