Tool to measure ssh latency ("sshping") ?

[Chris Rapier]

Also, keep in mind that point uses ICMP which  often uses a slow path
through network hardware. So a ping implemented in SSH will likely be
interacting with the hardware differently. While the two values will
largely correspond there will be enough difference to cause comparisons
between the two to have larger error bars than you might like.

By the way, I'm assuming you're doing this to get latency overhead
associated with ssh packet processing. If not can you even on what you'd
like to find out?
