Tool to measure ssh latency ("sshping") ?

[Michael Loftis]

That gets...really complicated... Because what exactly do you want to
measure?  Time to approx. beginning of the authentication exchange?
Time to get authenticated?  Time to get a command executed (echo
hello?  what shell?) ... anyway SmokePing has an SSH probe implemented
by running ssh-keyscan and measuring the time taken, this gets (as I
understand it) you time to roughly the beginning of authentication.
