Hi,

1. Netwatch - no, it's too basic
2. Script scheduled to run every minute (or so) would do. The script would run ping to the other side with interval set to 150 ms and with specified count (like 10 or 100 pings) - if the latency is higher, the pings will drop - and then based on the drop number (you'll get number of successful responses and do the math) you can do action.
For example:
:if ([/ping 192.168.0.1 interval=150ms count=100]<30) do={/tool e-mail send subject="Bad connection!" etc...}
(which means - if more than 70 of the 100 pings sent were either dropped or delayed by more than 150 ms - send the alarm);
