  Dear Maintainers,

this patch adds a measurement application to benchmark the latency
of transmitting l2 packets via DPDK.

We add this application to the examples folder, as similar tools
were placed there as well.
Note: the example has an optional dependency to cjson for creating a
json representation of the latency diagram.

Sending this as RFC as this patch does not modify libdpdk.

Best regards,
Felix Mößbauer

Are you using a real time system to reduce latency?

No, the examples are not supposed to be tools.
They demonstrate some APIs.

If it is a tool to measure performance, and can be used in a CI,
I think it is better hosted in the directory apps/.
