Hey Carter,

the changes did not go to rc36 completely
current outline is:

01234567
T
 m
 v
   *
   s
   d
   &
   i
   r
    I
    U
    R
    T
    @
    S
    D
      E
      x
      t
      V
      f
      F
       O
       S
       L
       T
       +
       R
       A
       U

- MpG missing in 1
- IURT should move from 4 to 2
- Ext should move from 6 to 5


Another issue is a slight inconsistancy in the number of units of
precision for some fields:

field       units of precision
load        3       
sload       3
dload       3
ploss       4
sploss      4
dploss      4
rate        3
srate       6
drate       6
sintpkt     2
dintpkt     2
sjit        6
djit        2
tcprtt      6

At least sjit and djit should be the same...

btw. I like the idea of game performance measurement very much, but its
probably hard to find people which have both a Xbox/PS3 and an Argus router
(i'm lacking the first one...)
PC games like World of Warcraft or Second Life could be a nice targets as well,
since network performance is definitely a big issue for theese two.
