Fedora 33 : Smokeping tool.

Smokeping is a latency measurement tool. It sends test packets out to the net and measures the amount of time they need to travel from one place to the other and back. SmokePing consists of a daemon process which organized the latency measurements and a CGI which presents the graphs. 

You can install it like a webpage, see a demo on this webpage with Customers.SALAG.
