The banana pi is being used as the test generator in the comcast
bufferbloat test program.

What I had tried to do several times over the past years is have a
little monitoring box I could put out along the edges of the yurtlab
network, doing mrtg, smokeping, traceroute, and acting as a
netperf/iperf server. I'd ultimately settled on the beaglebone blacks
for this, but never got to where they would stay up long enough to be
useful.
