Good tip. I've never heard of it before, but nonetheless:

% type bing
bing is /usr/bin/bing

% whatis bing
bing (8)             - compute point to point throughput using two sizes 
of ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to a pair of remote hosts

% rpm -q --whatprovides $(type -p bing)
bing-1.0.5-2


This is for SuSE Linux 10.2. I did not check to see which repository 
supplied this package.
