Description: 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' roundtrip times
for different packet sizes at each end of the link.

IIRC Mike agreed to it being orphaned months ago... someone just has to
upload it with Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org> in the Maintainer:
field.
