Description:would be nice to get sip and iax/iax2 connection latency status sent to a proc for ease of refernce for making programs aware of bad latency and notification
would be a good feature especially for those with distributed offices.
some possilbe uses are

1) notification of bad network connections automatically
2) use this information to change pathways/routing to endpoints

You already get this in manager as well as through dial plan functions. Are you looking for something else?

Yes this is definatly something else :)

The purpose of this would be to output it to a process , which could be then monitored/used by anything, without the need for logging into asterisk. (by proc i mean something like /proc/uptime

This would allow creation of external monitoring scripts that could be run by a cronjob to enhance quality control of client connections and enable monitoring/reporting of latency issues.

As oej has already stated, you can get this information with the combination of a diaplan function and the manager interface.  This should be enough to suit your specific needs.  Something like this is obviously very specific to Linux, so it is probably not a path we would want to take.
