Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues.

Describe the solution you'd like

It'd be nice to see ping/latency of open connections to know if you're close to the target server. Similar program with said feature would be Resource Monitor that would come with Windows.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I used this feature for online gaming, not every game shows what your ping/latency is. With online games having multiple locations/providers it's nice to know you're using the optimal one.

Research direction
Explore the existing codebase to understand how network connections are listed and their current statistics displayed. Look for any latency measurement functions or modules. Investigate the GUI framework used (likely conrod or gtk rs) to determine where new UI elements for latency can be added. Check the repository's issues and pull requests for prior discussions on latency or similar metrics.
