        BDP (bytes) =
        total_available_bandwidth (KBytes/sec) x round_trip_time (ms)

That answered a nagging question and leads me now to iperf and ifstat.
These seem to operate by polling remote hosts.  ipfm seems to measure
usage not delay or capacity.

What are recommended *passive* ways to track available bandwidth and the
round trip?
