Dirk,

I think I know what Heath is asking for, so I'll make a "feature request".

I suggest a ping response range with the ability to set the "fast" and "slow" 
ends of the range.  If the response is received faster than the "fast" end, the 
item is UP.  If the response is within the range, the item is "LATENT".  If the 
response is received slower than the "slow" end, the item is DOWN.  I guess 
this means a new status too.

In your example:

        All frames are received in less than 200ms -> UP
        If one of the frames takes more than 200ms but less than 2000ms -> 
LATENT
        If one of the frames takes more than 2000ms -> DOWN

Does that make sense, and would it be possible?

That's how the ping check works.

For example
        1 second timeout        
        5 frames
        100% should response

if one of the frames takes more then 200ms ->DOWN

Doable in Salive?

I would like to ping a host and if the latency for the round trip exceeds a
certain value then get notified.
