Flent.org feature request

Hi

Could you look at adding flent.org bandwidth test support to mikrotik built in. Even better would be the ability to graph things like link availability , rtt to a specific IP per route mark or per interface and tcp stream counts from fq_codel streams on a link for review as a graph later.
