Testing quality (rtt and packet loss) of Internet connection?

[karl.kornel at mindspeed.com]

I think you're looking for the check_cluster2 program, which is in the 
contrib/ directory of the plugins package.  You can use that to define a 
host/service whose state is influenced directly by the states of one or 
more other hosts/services.
