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.

This looks pretty ancient (source files dated 1997), and won't compile here. Any maintained version?
I'm a fan of nttcp, although it's not based on ping.
