Add STING, a TCP-based network measurement tool that measures end-to-end
network path characteristics. sting is unique because it can estimate
one-way properties, such as loss rate, through careful manipulation and
observation of TCP behavior.
Since Benno submitted the port first, and since the patches are nearly
identical, Benno will get credit for creating the port. However, since
Kelly offered to maintain it, he will get the job.
